Reading up on @Wadds blog (well worth a daily read) I noticed a great post based on the teachings of the fabulous Seth Godin who had some real gems of advice for the aspiring employee:
- Spend twenty hours a week running a project for a non-profit
- Teach yourself Java, HTML, Flash, PHP and SQL
- Volunteer to coach or assistant coach a kids sports team
- Start, run and grow an online community
- Give a speech a week to local organizations.Write a regular newsletter or blog about an industry you care about
- Learn a foreign language fluently
- Write three detailed business plans for projects in the industry you care about
- Self-publish a book
- Run a marathon
Brilliant! If that doesn’t float your boat, why not give Codeworks Connect a call. They have an excellent number of schemes and contacts that will be advantageous in this day and age – if you have time to pick up the phone between the projects, the sports teams and the marathon!
Thanks to @Wadds for being a generous Twestival donor and and all round awesome guy!
