The Recession-Proof Graduate

Seth Godin highlighted this ebook/ slideshow this morning on his blog. The Recession-Proof Graduate was created by a recent college graduate, Charlie Hoehn, who leveraged the uses of social media, blogs, and all things web 2.0 to find a job during the depths of the recession. The strategies he shares breaks the mold of the traditional job search methods used by most people. If you know a recent or soon-to-be graduate looking for work, you should consider forwarding this along to him or her.

The Slideshare version of the Recession-Proof Graduate is embedded below.

Good Insight On Teenagers' Online Habits

This video was recently featured on Building 43. The video was recorded at Microsoft's Revenue Bootcamp. The focus of the Revenue Bootcamp was online marketing and revenue generation, but the panel in this video was about the online habits of teenagers' and the under 25 crowd. The discussion was led by Guy Kawaski and featured teenagers and young adults discussing what they will and will not pay for online. I found the video offered some very good insight into the online habits of young adults.
