  • The new talent community declares the end to job postings and the painful transaction between applying for a specific job and getting a cold rejection. It further offers the opportunity to become “a corporate insider,” where you join the firm’s exclusive “talent community,” made up of interested prospects and applicants. In essence its own social network that the firm can use to keep in touch with applicants over time. It can also use the information that you provide during the increased interactions with recruiters to find the right job for you, even if it’s outside the typical jobs that you would have applied for.

    Very interesting assessment of Zappo's "no job postings" recruiting--totally different approach to pooling aspirants/"insiders" into groups with individuals providing a lot of information about who they are and what they value along with experience and credentials--ready for automated key word search and recruiters' attention.

motivation work retirement encore EncoreTampaBay Merrill_Lynch Fast

  • A new study from Merrill Lynch addresses the myths and motivations around retirement. Nearly three out of five retirees launch into a new line of work after retirement, according to the study, and working retirees are three times more likely to be entrepreneurs than pre-retirees.
  • "Retirement today is a much more dynamic and fluid process where people re-invent themselves and go through phases of transition."
  • If you’re not ready to fully jump into entrepreneurship, but want to stay active in your field, Wald suggests considering part-time consultancy. Staying relevant in their industries for retirees means keeping up with technological advances, and staying in touch with former colleagues—not faking the latest cool gadgets to appear younger.

  • The old rules of work applied to an economy of factories and offices, a world of "standard," stable employment with large employers, over careers with more or less predictable trajectories. The new rules belong to another universe—flexible, precarious, and entrepreneurial, less and less tied to specific times, places, and employers.
  • Old Rule: You commute into an office every day. New Rule: Work can happen wherever you are, anywhere in the world.
  • Old Rule: Work is "9-to-5" New Rule: You’re on call 24-7.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Old Rule: You have a full-time job with benefits. New Rule: You go from gig to gig, project to project.
  • Old Rule: Work-life balance is about two distinct, separate spheres. New Rule: For Better Or Worse The Line Between Work And Life Is Almost Entirely Disappearing.
  • Old Rule: You work for money, to support yourself and your family. New Rule: You work because you’re "passionate" about a "movement" or a "cause"—you have to "love what you do."

Offer legitimate solutions to tough business challenges such as value propositions. Focus on how you will address their needs first. Know their numbers. Know the industry, the business, and your own assets.
  • social sector groups speaking to businesses in terms of the nonprofits’ own missions was a major barrier.
