Everything I Ever Needed to Know – I Still Don’t Know
I don’t mean to pick on Robert Fulghum’s best selling book with a related title, but really – to succeed in the world of business – you have to remember that you are always learning. Like many people, constant learning is something that makes me get up each day with a zest for life. I might learn something about my field, something about the burgeoning social media world, something about a company I am interested in, or something about my house, or my body, or my cats. 
Sacramento has long been a ‘sleepy little town’ when it comes to the business and technology scene. But a young dynamic social media evangelist, Alejandro Reyes, has been increasing the collective community knowledge on social media marketing. Looking for a social media networking group to get involved with, I ran across Alejandro through Meetup.com. (Yes, MeetUp is more than politics!) Alejandro’s energy and excitement ensured that I got involved and stayed involved in the local social media ‘brain trust.’
So far I have started this blog, began tweeting in earnest – mostly watching for interesting employment trends and the occasional “not tweeted 20 times’ job opportunity, and I created a Facebook Fan page for a non-profit I am associated with. I’ve also squeezed every ounce out of LinkedIn – connecting with friends of friends, keeping my network apprised of my job search progress, and making sure my ‘brand Amy’ is easy to understand.
At the same time, I’m studying for my Project Management Professional Certification (PMP). I’ll blog more on that closer to test date, but I am a busy lady! And I’m energized because I’m learning new stuff EVERY SINGLE DAY (including weekends and holidays.)
