All the Geek Whisperers have changed jobs recently. We basically invented the new roles ourselves. How did we do that? This week we talk about using the force to create a new job and about our career journeys.
Amy recently was promoted from a manager of Influence Marketing in the Data Center group at Cisco to a remit that spans all of the corporation. We talk about:
- Tip 1: testing the title you want by putting it up on LinkedIn
- finding the people that actually do stuff in a corporation
- people really do the things they want to do, not necessarily their job descriptions
- putting your objectives in pencil, not pen
- trying things, filling a business need
- Tip 2: talk to your stakeholders; the people your role is affecting
- i.e., in listening, you are able to articulate the value of what you are doing
- Tip 3: you must be fluent in suit as well as t-shirt
- Brian Gracely
- Leaning the F in
- Know the value you bring to the table
- Find mentors, mentor others
- Create a community
- Tip 4: If you know there’s a business need for what you do, keep doing it
- Look for the holes; fill the gaps
Matt recently shifted from a inside sales engineer role at Infinio to a role in technical marketing.
- Matt has accepted that he is connected to the dark side of the Force — marketing
- If you’re not up on your Star Wars trivia, the Chancellor is actually the bad guy in disguise
- creating a new role for someone that can build a lab, try new cool things, and then talk about it
- self-help for self-loathing marketers: it’s all about good intent
- know who you’re talking to
- being a member of the club
- geek marketers must be willing to be the brunt of marketing jokes
- saying what’s on your mind and what you want
- checking off different roles around big and small companies on the way to becoming an executive
- if your interests are not where your job role is, do you want to keep doing it?
- putting people in the right roles is a good corporate retention strategy
- translating your skills into what the company needs
- not walking away from a relationship
- trusting your gut
- moving closer to the product team
John quit his job at VMware and started his own company and consulting practice
- finishing all the things you set out to do
- hunters vs farmers
- perceived need in the marketplace
- maintaining an income: healthcare & mortgage
- Ramen Profitable from Paul Graham
- talking to lots of potential clients in the industry you want to work in
- being a part of a community; learning to love IT
- have a vision for something that needs to be invented in the world
- doing what you love
- don’t discount the gate that is open in front of you
