5 Ways to Break Through the Clutter and Land Your Dream Job

5 Ways to Break Through the Clutter and Land Your Dream Job: "In the reputation economy, every move you make can build or erode your personal brand. By making the right branding decisions, you can become more employable, charge more for your services, and have leverage over your career. In this current workplace climate, there is no job security, no guarantee that a degree will turn into a job, and no single path to the top. 84% of workers want to quit their jobs and find new opportunities this year. You need to become the CEO of your own company, You Inc.

Aside from the competition for jobs, the amount of noise online is increasing exponentially. For example, there are now 140 million tweets per day and Twitter is growing at 460 thousand accounts per day. Simple put: traditional career strategies are becoming ineffective and need to evolve with the times."
