book: Career 2.0


Good career advice.

My Takeaways:
  • Ultimately the responsibility for your career and your life rests with one and only one person. You.
  • Be passioned about your work.
  • Keep on learning, keep on building your intellectual portfolio.
  • Select your goals and remind them frequently.
  • Breakdown your goals into weekly and even daily actions.
  • Sharing knowledge, by writing and speaking publicly, deepens your grasp of the knowledge.
This book is also good reference of public speaking techniques.

Thanks Erki, for the suggestion.
