Cool Career

Check out this segment from Cool Careerist on TotalPicture.com that features Rick Klau from FeedBurner. At FeedBurner they aren’t necessarily looking for employees with ‘legacy resumes’…experts who want to talk about years-gone-by.  They look for other attributes, as Rick mentions: 

  • People who are curious about what’s new and what is driving awareness.
  • People who actually publish a blog (vs. just reading about it in magazines or talking on panels).
  • People engaged in contributing to blogs.
  • People who understand the dynamics of subscribing to content.
  • People who know how to make content more visible.
  • People who are flexible, can wear different hats and think on their feet. 

If you’re interested in working for FeedBurner this is great inside information to know before you submit your resume or head in for an interview.  Under all circumstances knowing what an employer is looking for is the type of information that can help you target your resume and/or your interview answers to ‘meet the employer’s needs’. Remember your prospective employer will always be focused on ‘what’s in it for them’ and that is where you can make a big difference in your communication. 

Wondering if FeedBurner is hiring?  They are – developers.  These guys are apparently growing faster than Myspace or Digg.com and were recently acquired by Google.  If you want to know more about them check here for some FAQ’s.
