Give This Guy A Job
I was approached in a novel way this morning by someone looking for work. His approach shows understanding and applied knowledge of how to make Twitter and Google work for you. His CV shows someone who has worked hard all his life (throughout college = always a good thing in my book), has done lots of sales/biz dev jobs… speaking to other business owners these last few years, it seems to me that the most prized skill these days is a good sales person. Even in a recession, a good salesperson can help get the cash flowing through the business again. If you’re on the lookout for a go-getting sales person with experience for your team, you’d do well to follow up with this guy!
First I got a tweet, directed to me personally (pity he didn’t have an avatar as I nearly overlooked it):
Click the link and you’re taken over to Google Docs where you can check out Martin Newell’s CV.
Nice. Some organisations block their staff from accessing Facebook, Twitter, even Gmail. That, in my opinion, is so wrong. People like Martin Newell know how to use social media, it’s in their digital DNA. Shutting down access to key tools is like stopping your staff from having access to a toilet. It’s so essential – and detrimental if you go too far!
