A podcast with chairman, CEO, and tech industry veteran, Jim Hammock.

You've probably heard the saying, "if you're not in transition, you're in denial." You've also probably experienced the "black hole" of the job submission process. Spending, what seems like hours, cutting and pasting your carefully crafted resume into some hideous online corporate ATS - applicant tracking system - pushing the "submit" button, and then waiting, and waiting for...... nothing. Not even a "thanks." Well a new start-up in Austin has changed all of that, allowing you to anonymously explore opportunities in real time with instant feedback. You know immediately how well you score with all of the jobs in the itzbig system. Not only is that big, that's great! Kevin Wheeler on ERE.net referred to itzbig as "A Sourcing Network on Steroids."

Taking Your Career to the Next Level. Building Your GQ - Your Google Quotient.

The sea change in online privacy, visability, and managing your online persona. A Career Acceleration Podcast with Kathy Simmons, President and CEO of Netshare

Kathy Simmons

According to Kathy Simmons, you don't want to be "the dead moose at the doorstep." (She borrowed the term from California radio personality Sherry Argov)."Since recruiters are hunters, they would much rather go out and find someone and hunt them down than find them on their doorstep," Kathy told Total Picture Radio host Peter Clayton in this Online Savvy edition of the show, "if you're too easy to find, if you're there and already packaged, you're not as attractive as someone they've gone out and feel they've discovered." This leads to the concept that managing your online persona is far more than posting your resume online - which can actually hurt your chances of being contacted by a recruiter. In our in-depth, 28 minute interview, Kathy also discusses transitioning from working as an independent consultant to working for a company.

"A disgraceful fascist luddite communist control freak monarchist failed dotcom entrepreneur"

A Podcast with Andrew Keen, founder of AfterTV and the author of The Cult of the Amateur.

Andrew Keen

"When you have the crowd authoring content, it reads like mushy peas. It has no stylistic quality... Do you want Hollywood, or do you want exploding bottles on YouTube?" Andrew Keen

As The Wall Street Journal recently reported, "It's been 10 years since the blog was born. Love them or hate them, they've roiled presidential campaigns and given everyman a global soapbox." In this online savvy edition of Total Picture Radio, from Berkley, California, is the author of a new - and highly controversial book, The Cult of the Amateur - how today's internet is killing our culture -- published by Doubleday/Currency.

The headline quote above is from from a posting on Andrew's blog, titled, "who am I?" His book has launched (without exaggeration), a bloggers firestorm. In the introduction to The Cult of the Amateur, Andrew writes. "In today's self-broadcasting culture, where amateurism is celebrated and anyone with an opinion, however ill-informed, can publish a blog, post a video on YouTube, or change an entry on Wikipedia, the distinction between trained expert and uninformed amateur becomes dangerously blurred. When anonymous bloggers and videographers, unconstrained by professional standards or editorial filters, can alter the public debate and manipulate public opinion, truth becomes a commodity to be bought sold, packaged and reinvented."
