If that is the question; you don’t! You won’t often be able to persuade the standardized HR system to make an exception. A better plan: find a company that understands the value of a linchpin. Find a company that doesn’t use computers to scan resumes. A company that hires people, not paper….. You are not your resume, you are your work. </blockquote> I think this goes along the lines of what you recommend in your blogpost about <i>knowing your value proposition</i> Saqib Hi Barb,

I was listening to Seth Godin’s new audiobook, Linchpin, and in a section aptly titled How to get a great job, he writes:

I think this goes along the lines of what you recommend in your blogpost about knowing your value proposition

Good points to consider. 'Know your value proposition' is such a good point. You would be hired to solve a problem, not to just get a job. I also have come to believe in your 10th point too. I've seen evidence of that having an impact. Thanks for these notes. Good points to consider. ‘Know your value proposition’ is such a good point.
