Comment on Company Spotlight: W.L. Gore by William Taylor

William Taylor — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 04:51:48 +0000

Don't believe it. I know someone that worked for W.L. Gore. They say its the most conservative company they've worked for. The company is owned by mormons and they have constant meetings to discuss the "culture". If they "culture" is so great, why do they have to expend so much effort to defend it?

Comment on Millennials Are Civic, Not Idealistic by Patrick

Correction to the article, reactive fix the problem by directing the civic generation. Reactives do not hold to idealism and believe such stuff to be "stupid and contagious." X-ers take a practical view on things and try to fix things with practical and reasonable solutions that are BOTH realistic and achievable. As for the Twenge comment, Twenge understands Strauss-Howe better than anyone on this board. Her point in her book is directed more toward the idealism that Boomers used to poison the mono culture of Y-ers with "everyone gets a trophy" and that everyone is special causing narcissism. She is not blaming the Y-ers, but the idealism that THIS time's idealism gone astray thanks to the idealistic generation. That is my worry, in Strauss-Howe's statement that if things go bad when the Fourth Turning climaxes, the reactives will have to hold back the civics, review the situation, and start over which is established in nature that X-ers are the most diverse crop (like in farming) where infections can (and will) take down some, but not all. While the mono crop (like in farming) if infected, will infect all destroying the crop. Entitlement may have severely hurt (if not destroy) America for the next cycle of turnings. For the lack of a better work, "interesting" what such a small thing as "everyone gets a trophy" can do that any military could not to America.

Comment on Be Known for Your Ideas with Your Brazen Careerist Social Resume by Ryan Healy

Ryan Healy — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 15:37:18 +0000

Hi Casey. So glad to hear you like the concept! It's really been catching on since launch last week and we've received a ton of positive feedback.

You're right its a great compliment to the regular resume. We're not replacing anything, just enhancing something that desperately needs it!

Comment on Be Known for Your Ideas with Your Brazen Careerist Social Resume by Casey Accord

I love it! As someone who writes for a website dedicated to the "traditional" resume, I'm absolutely enthralled by this new idea! I can't wait to see how it catches on. I think it sounds like a nice complement to the regular resume and a wonderful way to demonstrate your professional brand. Ideas are hard to get across in a typical resume. Those who really want to share their personal philosophy and future plans are really only able to do it in a cover letter…until now! This is exciting stuff.

Comment on Are Entrepreneurs Born, Or Can They Be Made? by Brandy Brown

Brandy Brown — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:08:21 +0000

Ryan…. let me start by saying this – I like and respect you. I like and respect your blog. I haven't been subscribed long – but that's only because I just found it.

However – I hate parts of this post. I dislike them so much I wrote a post about it on my own blog. But that wasn't really about YOU or what you said – it was more because I feel like many entrepreneurs say things like "I just didn't want to work for someone else because I wanted my life to have meaning" and they say it in such a way where those who do feel their job is sucking the soul out of them may think it's an easy path to meaning in your life. It isn't, which is why I have so much respect for those who succeed at it.

So I'll save more of my rant for my own blog – and I thank you for inspiring it – it was a good thought process and an even better reminder of why I am getting the degree I am getting – so hopefully I can help those who don't want to be entrepreneurs to find more meaning in the jobs they do have.

I want to finish by getting back to what you were really talking about here – I think that entrepreneurs can be both products of circumstance (made) and can be the kind of person who just WANTS that life (born). I really like the points others have made here in response to that better than anything I have to say.
