Tom Peters on creating and updating your résumé.
From: Issue 14 | April 1998, Page 245 By: John Quain
Before you sell anything, you need to sell yourself. And the primary powertool for that pitch is your résumé. "Your résumé is you," enthuses Tom Peters, evangelist of the new economy, in Think Résumé (previously published as Tom Peters' Career Survival Guide), a CD-ROM for Windows and Macintosh. The disc's main message: Keep your résumé up to date. Ask yourself, Are you adding something every 90 days? The product includes a basic résumé-maker, which helps you fashion a document that you can easily update, print, or copy into your favorite word processor. Better still is Peters's advice on how to improve your résumé:
1. Instead of thinking about what your "rank" is, think about the "braggable" projects that you've completed.
2. Use the diversity of jobs that you've had to emphasize your overall skill set.
3. Think of the résumé as your offer to help
solve a potential employer's problems.
13. Competitive Intelligence - Get Smart!

Thanks to the Web, you can learn more about the competition faster
than ever. Fast Company's panel of experts provides a six-point
program for keeping an eye on your rivals. Now, where's Agent
99?

Business moves fast. Product cycles are measured in months,
not years. Partners become rivals quicker than you can say "breach
of contract." So how can you possibly hope to keep up with
your competitors if you can't keep an eye on them?
