These posts parallels my thinking. At the 50,000 level it is not about search techniques, but who you are. It is especially important to be "objectively distanced" from your job and your job search. May I suggest that this "concept" , "idea" is so important, that it deserves consideration for a "foundation" series and into an article and into a book? Pat Pomahony2@gmail.com Jason,

I am reading the thread of “Becoming Uncommon in your Job Search”, the post of Daniel Johnson Jr (which I liked very much.

These posts parallels my thinking.

It is especially important to be “objectively distanced” from your job and your job search.

May I suggest that this “concept” , “idea” is so important, that it deserves
consideration for a “foundation” series and into an article and into a book?

It is only one part of it. As I've worked to develop my personal brand, I've realized that there's so much more about me and what I have to offer the world than what I do at a job. In many cases, this has led to other hobbies and projects, which has led to other opportunities. Identifying one's own uniqueness and how that fits with a particular job, and being able to communicate that effectively is one of the most common qualities of a successful job seeker.

I would hope that some of the things I have done to be uncommon are being myself and trying to do the best that I can do. Funny how we are somewhat on the same page with the networking and personal branding idea. Earlier today I posted http://retwt.me/1fiL9 which is a blog post about how 283.5 found jobs. I know the .5 threw me off too. Good link to Glen's post as well. Thanks Jason. Good question.
