The key points here that are sticking with me are:
- Always keep networking so you don't cold call someone when you need them
- Keep productive with projects. That's -productive-, not "busy."
- Know the questions and unique conversations that are going on in your industry so it looks like you know what you're talking (not just the salary facts, etc.)

Thanks!

Most people are extremely nervous when going through the job application process. They are thingking about what they need to do to get this job. I had several opportunities to work with in the HR departments of several different large companies over the years, and found they are looking for lots of things, but one thing that is not on their list is something you cant put on paper.

Thats a cheerful spirit and a great big SMILE. People want to be around other people that make them happy, and smiles and cheer are contagious. I have seen so many completely unqualified people get the job simple because they were likable.

I am sure you have as well! You mainly see it with attractive people getting the job because they are attractive. But they are really getting the job because the atmosphere they create around them makes others like them. Thats just the way humans operate. It always causes a stir in the office. Its always unfair, but thats the way things work. So just play the system! So if your not the next top model, when interviewing make your personality attractive with a big smile and a cheerful spirit... it will get you that dream job.

Nice concept, but the audio quality is horrible and makes it difficult and distracting to listen to.

I wonder if you asked the people on Jeremiah Owyang's @ the Web Strategist list of people in social media positions if they would be up for an interview.
