Unemployment---I've lost count of the days....16-38 or so.

Thomas Edison: ‘To have a great idea, have a lot of them’

 The key quality which sets the best companies from the rest of the field is creativity and the ability to think outside of the box. The businesses which simply follow the herd and do not attempt to do anything differently will never be the market leaders. Always look for a new angle or approach that will make a difference in the market place. I have always encouraged creative thinking among all my key managers. If you want to be truly different and the best at what you do then it is vital to have an open mind and be receptive to new ideas, concepts and approaches.

I read this quote on LinkedIn this morning in my morning troll for jobs, gossip, etc. It really justifies my thinking overall and how I approach jobs. There is always room for things to change and room for improvement.

While being unemployed has royally sucked, and I'm not sure which is worse....Unemployment or the gym, I can safely say that I have been able to really assess that I am an out of the box kind of person in many ways...and to try to force a job, especially one like product management or analysis into a box is just detrimental to the company and the human being. Of course, that is not saying that I am not willing to force myself into a box to accommodate a paycheck, but I think that I will continue to be moderately cautious of my choice in job that allows that creativity and allows me to really be me.

Back to the hunt...
