During a blogging and job search presentation I delivered a few weeks ago, one of the participant questions had to do with “what to say when you write a blog or make a tweet." A tip one of my English teachers taught me years ago was to think of one word of interest and then, write one thought about it. Turn that one thought into one line and then, a few more lines. Turn the few more lines into a paragraph. And a paragraph to a page. And a page into an article or story or book, depending upon your goal. So, the word my client and I were discussing yesterday afternoon was this one: others. After she left my office, I gave further thought to the word and posted below is what I came up with. As a job seeker, what additional thoughts might you add to this post about the word others?
