Finding a good book is a very personal decision, isn’t it? So is finding a good blog or good blog post. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What I’ve found as I interact with many job seekers is that they aren’t doing a lot of reading. Huge generalization, I know, and it certainly doesn’t apply to those reading this. Being a life-long-learner means just that. Whether it be through books, eBooks, magazines, newspapers…how are you staying agile and incorporating new ideas and thoughts into what you do?
Here are two sources of “great reads” that I personally agree with (that’s why I am sharing). Go ahead, pick a couple and dive in. See what starts to happen.
