Guy Kawasaki interviewed Penelope Trunk, author of Brazen Careerist: The New Rules for Success on the nine biggest myths of the workplace.

Here they are:

  1. You’ll be happier if you have a job you like.
  2. Job-hopping will hurt you.
  3. The glass ceiling still exists.
  4. Office politics is about backstabbing.
  5. Do good work, and you’ll do fine.
  6. You need a good resume.
  7. People with good networks are good at networking.
  8. Work hard and good things will come.
  9. Create the shiny brand of you!

Transferring from Vox

May 19, 2007 Leave a Comment

For the last 7 months, I maintained a blog on Vox and now I am leaving Vox to start my blog here. If you want to find my old blogs, please visit them on Vox. The main reasons for me to decide Vox were:

1) Anyone who has to leave comments on my blog have to create a new account with Vox. That is not going to work for me. I cannot advertise my blog to others and have them comment on my articles with such a barrier to entry. Sorry, Vox does not get it.

2) There is no way to embed a video say from Youtube or GoogleVideo into the blog like I have done below. It has to be a hyperlink. Old style. OK, this is lesser of the two reasons.

So here, I am starting my third blog on the blogosphere. I did my research this time, and everyone I asked (so called experts on blogging) unanimously recommended WordPress (listen marketers – there is Word of Mouth for you)
