Welcome to the Daily Roundup. Each day at the ThinkTalk Blog we will post some links that we find informative, interesting, or just plain funny. The goal is to let you know what else is going on out there, and ultimately help you with the development of your career.
When we started out, we had no stars, we had no power or muscle. We didn't have enough money, really, to do what we wanted to do. But what we had was a script that inspired mad love in everyone who read it. We had a genius for a director. We had a cast and a crew who were unwavering in their commitment and whose talents are up on the screen for all of you to see... Most of all, we had passion and we had belief, and our film shows that if you have those two things, truly anything is possible. -- Christian Colson, Producer for Slumdog Millionaire
Indeed, everything was possible for this film at the 81st Academy Awards. With a one-way ticket from Bollywood to Hollywood, Slumdog Millionaire won the awards for Best Adapted Screenplay (Thank you Vikas Swarup), Cinematography, Sound Mixing, Film Editing, Music Score and Song, Best Directing and Best Picture. Did you catch all of that? ThinkTalk guest and Slumdog Director Danny Boyle not only proved to be 2008's Best Director but his passionate speech was just as infectious as the film's Award-winning song "Jai Ho" performed by A.R. Rahman. We also want to congratulate Milk's Sean Penn for winning an Oscar in the category of Actor In a Leading Role and writer Dustin Lance Black for Original Screenplay (not to mention his touching and emotional acceptance speech). Check out our blog of Zack's Q & A session with actor Emile Hirsch and activist Cleve Jones on behalf of the film's promo tour.
The Oscars are over, but The Links are just beginning . . .
Jobacle Profiles:
Careerealism. The website features short videos and general career advice, while Ben Eubanks' Jobacle profile features a short interview with the sites founder. Certainly worth a look.
Glenn Kelman Guest Posts:
For Guy Kawasaki. And in this post, offers advice on what employers want to see on a resume. Kelman is the CEO of an online real estate brokerage and co-founder of a software company . . . so he should be a pretty good source of info on what an employer is looking for.
The Wall Street Journal Reports:
That job competition is heating up. An influx of elderly workers could be competing for the same jobs as you. "The number of unemployed workers 75 and older increased to more than 73,000 in January, up 46% from the prior January. Among workers 65 and older, the jobless rate stands at 5.7%." These numbers are historical highs and given the economy, many of these workers choose to keep working rather than retire.
Personal Branding Blog Explains:
What your handshake could say about your personal brand. Basically, your handshake is a large part of a first impression. You don't want to go to firm and you don't want to go to light. Once, while golfing, I was busy thinking of my shot and half-heartedly shook a new partners hand when he offered it. The guy stared at me for a minute and shrugged "uhhh, nice to meet you too." It was a faux pas and a bad impression . . . but so is introducing yourself to someone right before a shot.
The Case Western Observer Profiles:
A photography project by DC-based photographer Emily Troutman that features a Case Western Student. Student Akshai Singh was vising DC to take in President Barak Obama's inauguration and was asked to participate in the project, which was titled "President Obama Inauguration: Words For How We Feel Now." "Singh chose 'anxious' because the inauguration was a long time coming, and he selected 'patient' because, although some may expect a sudden change with the inauguration of Obama, he believes that it's going to take some time." A very cool project, in my opinion.
Clemson's Tiger News' Julie Gerdes Chronicles:
Her "comedic career." The opinion piece details Julie's struggles to decide on a future and career. "As a senior graduating in May of 2009, I find myself, mid-February, glancing down each path, wincing, throwing a blanket over my head and vowing not to peek out until pine trees are dropping hundred-dollar bills and gold-plated "help wanted" signs are in demand." You are not alone, Julie . . . and the rest of you.
Emerson College's Berkely Beacon Looks At:
Networking at an internship fair on campus. reporter Kirby Archer looks at some services offered by the Career Center and tips on how to negotiate the sometimes tricky atmosphere of a Career Fair. The article focuses on Emerson's Boston area, but much of the advice can be applied universally.
