I’ve become a more frequent use of the power virtual notebook Evernote, and i’m still finding new possibilities to make the best out of it. Recently i found out an application for a Evernote public folder that may be useful for some of you. I was trying to organize my CV and portfolio, when i noticed there was some writing about my work that may be interesting for future employers, that a simple Google search would not supply. Some are articles that have already disappeared, or didn’t have an online existence; others are so buried deep down the search list that no one would ever get there. So i started compiling them with Evernote, in order to put them all together at my website. But then i realised i could make my clipping folder public, and i quit the idea of self-hosting those references. The folder items already come with a link to the original source, and with some patience we can tag and order them chronologically, and they are presented as thumbnails on the right side. Slap a disclaimer in the first clip of the list, and it’s done. Of course you may want to be more thorough and make an effort to make it look sharper, but this is a simple solution for an ongoing task like clipping, since it only takes a few seconds to update the list. You can check my clippings page, and more suggestions at the Evernote tips blog. |
Tornei-me um utilizador mais assíduo do super bloco de notas virtual Evernote, e ainda estou a descobrir formas de o rentabilizar. Recentemente descobri uma utilização usando a opção de publicar uma pasta que pode ser útil para alguns de vocês. Estava eu a organizar o meu CV e portfolio quando reparei que havia algumas coisas escritas sobre o meu trabalho que poderiam ser interessantes para futuros empregadores, que uma simples busca no Google não fornecia. Alguns são artigos que já desapareceram, ou não existiam online; outros estão tão para o fundo da lista que ninguém chegaria lá. Por isso comecei a compilá-los com o Evernote, de forma a poder publicá-los no meu site. Mas depois percebi que podia tornar a minha pasta de clipping pública, e desisti de alojar essas referências. Os items guardados nessa pasta já têm um link para a fonte original, e com alguma paciência podemos atribuir tags e ordená-los cronologicamente, e são apresentados como miniaturas do lado direito do ecrã. Metam uma explicação no primeiro clip da lista, e está feito. É claro que podem querer ser mais meticulosos e tentar embelezar coisa, mas esta é uma solução simples para uma tarefa em continuidade como o clipping, já que demora apenas uns segundos para actualizar a lista. Podem ver a minha página de clipping, e mais sugestões no blog de dicas da Evernote.

Examining the role of blogs in BBC News, Alfred Hermida
This study examines how the world’s largest news organization, the BBC, has sought to incorporate blogging in its journalism, both as a format for new journalistic thinking and as a platform for greater accountability and transparency. The research covers a period of seven years, from 2001 to 2008, when the BBC came under intense scrutiny over its journalism and mechanisms for public accountability. It is based on an analysis of internal and public policy documents produced by the BBC, blog content on BBC and personal websites and the personal recollections of senior editors at the corporation. The findings suggest that the BBC is approaching blogging as a tool to enhance trust with audiences through expanded transparency and accountability, in an attempt to transform its historical elitist attitude towards its audiences. But, at the same time, the BBC is grappling with fitting this online format within its long-established journalism norms and practices, seeking to normalize blogs within existing journalistic frameworks.

One exec’s savvy take on the news biz, Reflections of a Newsosaur
A nationally prominent investor offered a number of penetrating observations the other day about what ails the newspaper business. His rundown is worth a quick read.
:: A monopoly mindset: “The newspaper business basically grew up as a monopoly, and like every other monopoly, it built processes and approaches that reflected its monopoly status.”
: An outmoded concept of news: “When I grew up, the definition of ‘breaking news’ was [the newspaper delivered to] your front door…. Well, that’s not the case anymore. Now, you hit your homepage, now you turn on CNN, or some other news-TV program, and that’s how you find out what the latest news is.”

How to: get the story from inexperienced interviewees, Journalism.co.uk
Politicians, celebrities and company executives are trained and protected. They are coached to avoid making inaccurate or indefensible claims. They pay people to guard them from making gaffes that might come back and haunt them. That makes whatever they say fair game for accurate reporting. By definition, an inexperienced interviewee has no such support or guidance. They don’t always think deeply about how the press works. For example, they may be comfortable speaking frankly and colourfully about a boss, an organisation or a neighbour in conversation with a friendly interviewer. But they may be horrified at the consequence of seeing those remarks in cold print and in a hostile different context.

Point of view is everything, Dave Winer
Anyway, after all the perspective-altering news last week about the economy, reading Jeff Jarvis’s essay on how to cure the ills of the news business was a bit of nostalgia for the good old days and showed me why Jeff has good attendance at his conferences among people who want to believe in The Long Tail, and in the primacy of the 20th century model for news and entertainment, but it was very clear to me why that point of view is now completely irrelevant.
This is the point of view of news that’s relevant: the point of view of the user of news.
A user wants to know how he or she is going to get news.
And when they see lies and BS in the news, they think about how they can get accurate information.

CURSO DE EDIÇÃO PARA JORNALISMO MULTIMÍDIA, André Deak
Durante o mês de novembro apresentei no Comunique-se um curso sobre edição para jornalismo multimídia, a convite do xará André Rosa (vulgo Marmota). Antes de mim, os alunos tiveram palestras com gente bacana: Ana Brambilla, sobre jornalismo colaborativo, o Interney (digo, o Edney), sobre SEO, o próprio Marmota, sobre edição de site, além de outras figuras.
Essa coleção de links é também uma atualização do curso que dei em Belo Horizonte para os Diários Associados. Costumo usar pouco o powerpoint em aulas e apresentações, mostrando muito mais a rede, navegando nos sites ao vivo. Bem, aí está. Sugiro enfaticamente que você tire um tempo para navegar neles, caso já não conheça todos. Bom proveito.
Então estamos à procura de emprego? Como defendi esta semana, nós somos o nosso próprio produto. Quer andemos à procura de um emprego fixo ou trabalhar como freelancers, temos que nos destacar da multidão. E como? Criando uma marca própria, que tem duas vertentes essenciais: aspecto e conteúdo. O curriculo com o melhor design do mundo não vai longe se não tiver um bom recheio = trabalho de qualidade. CV Mas vamos começar pelo início. Primeiro é preciso saber duas coisas: o que sabemos fazer e o que queremos fazer. Façam listas de tudo que tenha sido relevante para a vossa formação, experiência profissional, e competências sociais. Os modelos de currículos normalmente têm uma série de items que valem a pena seguir para estruturar toda essa informação, mas, especialmente na área de comunicação, acho que vale a pena personalizar a coisa. Os ingleses e os americanos usam mais o modelo de resume, que acho mais eficaz. Podem criar o vosso online nestes dois sites: Emurse.com e Razumé. Pelo menos podem perceber como arrumar a vossa informação. Se quiserem dar um toque mais visual ao vosso currículo, e se não tiverem grande jeito para as artes gráficas, usem a vossa rede de contactos. O meu (ainda inacabado) currículo foi criado por uma amiga minha que é arquitecta da LangdonReisZahn (grande Anita!!) em troca de um press release.Já agora digam o que acham, ainda preciso de o melhorar. Ou então podem usar como fonte de inspiração algumas propostas que há na net: eu vi muito estes –36 Beautiful Resume Ideas That Work e 38 More Beautiful Resume Ideas That Work ou então vejam os da concorrência, há sempre alguém com uma boa ideia, ou sempre se pode aprender com os erros dos outros. Outra coisa que acho fundamental é mostrar trabalho. Lá por causa de estarem desempregados não quer dizer que não produzam. Usem os blogs, escrevam, mostrem as vossas fotos, os vossos sites, os vossos designs. Aprendam com os outros. O Google é o princípio da vossa formação caseira, e as propinas são a mensalidade de net. O que produzirem passa a ser parte do vosso portfolio, por isso esmerem-se no que fazem. Aliás, a vossa presença online pode ser determinante no processo de selecção. PRESENÇA ONLINE Estamos todos à distância de um clique. Por isso é necessário manter a nossa presença online saudável. O António Dias tem um blog que aborda especificamente este assunto e oferece um Guia para Gestão da Reputação Online, em .pdf . Mas essa gestão é feita todos os dias: no Twitter, nas redes sociais, nos comentários a outros blogs. É muito fácil passar a ideia errada, por isso mais vale tentar ter uma presença positiva na web. Googlem o vosso nome e tirem as vossas conclusões.Usem essas ferramentas online para expandir a vossa rede de contactos, para além do Twitter recomendo um bom perfil profissional no Facebook e no LinkedIn. PROCURAR Agora que já têm a vossa informação ordenada e com bom aspecto, e são poucas as fotos que vos comprometem, está na hora de melhorar a vossa procura de emprego. Em Portugal há um site dedicado à área da comunicação, o cargadetrabalhos.net mas é sempre bom diversificar, e ver noutros sites. E falem com os vossos amigos para estarem atentos a qualquer oportunidade de trabalho que vos assente. Façam auto-propostas às empresas onde gostariam de trabalhar, o pior que vos pode acontecer é enviarem o vosso CV para o lixo. DICAS Enquanto esperamos pela chamada para uma entrevista, podemos sempre ir criando mais trabalho, e melhorando o nosso CV. Há muitos sites que têm sempre boas ideias para o dia a dia de um freelancer (palavra fina para desempregado), mas eu gosto destes: o Lifehacker, que tem muitos artigos para freelancers, e para quem procura emprego. Recentemente descobri esta lista que me parece muito interessante – 101 Recursos Essenciais para o Freelancer. Mas há muitos mais, e se puderem, partilhem connosco. MUNDO REAL O que eu recomendo (mas nunca o faço) é ir bater às portas e falar directamente com as pessoas. É mais complicado porem o CV no lixo à nossa frente.Se trabalharam para alguém antes não falem mal deles. O último empregador é sempre a melhor referência e deverá ser alguém que esteja satisfeito com o nosso trabalho. Falem com as pessoas, online e offline, encontrem-se com amigos que trabalham no meio que vocês querem entrar.E acima de tudo, se puderem evitar estes passos todos e ter alguém que vos ponha a trabalhar, usem-no. Têm mais algumas ideias sobre o assunto? É para isso que está a caixa de comentários abaixo. Obrigado. Alexandre Gamela é escritor, jornalista freelancer e blogger, e está entre empregos neste momento. Se o quiserem conhecer mais o seu trabalho, vejam o seu CV e entrem em contacto com ele. |
So, we’re looking for a job? Like i defended before this week, we are our own product. Wether we are looking for a steady job or just another gig as a freelancer, we have to find a way to stand out from the crowd. And how? By creating our own brand, that has two essential principles : looks and content. The world’s best designed resume won’t do you any good unless it has some yummy content = some decent quality work. CV But lets start at the beginning. First we must know two things: what we know and what we want to do. Write down a list with the relevant stuff for your education, professional experience, and social competences. There are resume models structured in items that may help you to gather all that information, but, especially in this communication related business, i believe we can make a more personal presentation. The British and the Americans use the more effective (in my opinion) resume model, instead of the CV. You can create your own at these two websites: Emurse.com and Razumé. At least you get to understand how to manage your information. If you wish to give a more visual touch to your resume, and you’re not that good at the visual arts, use your contact network. My (still unfinished) resume was designed by a friend of mine, who’s an architect of LangdonReisZahn (rock on Anita!!!) in exchange for a press release. Since we’re at it, tell me what you think, it needs some improving still. Or you can use as an inspiration source some proposals that are hanging around in the web: i went through these 36 Beautiful Resume Ideas That Work and 38 More Beautiful Resume Ideas That Work, or check your competition out, there’s always someone with a good idea, or we can learn from other people’s mistakes. Another thing that i find essential is to show some work. Just because you’re unemployed it doesn’t mean you are not working. Use your blogs, write, show your pictures, your websites, your design. Learn from others. Google is the starting point of your home schooling, and the tuition go as high as your internet connection bill. What you produce will become a part of your portfolio, so put some love in what you do. In fact, your web presence can be a determinant factor in the course of a selection process. ONLINE PRESENCE We all are only a click away. So it is extremely important to keep a healthy online presence. There are lots of guides regarding this subject online, so waste some time searching and reading them, look for online reputation management. But that management is done everyday : at Twitter, in social networks, when leaving comments in other people’s blogs. It is very easy to pass on a wrong idea, so you might as well make some effort to create a positive presence on the web. Google your own name and take your conclusions. Use those online tools to expand your contact network, and besides Twitter i recommend a good professional profile at Facebook and LinkedIn. SEARCHING Now that you have your info in order and looking sharp, and there aren’t that many photos of you in compromising situations online, it is time to improve your job search. There are many specialized job websites, directed to journalists, designers, communicators. Use them, sign them up, but don’t forget to diversify and visit other mainstream job websites. and talk to your friends, make them aware for any opportunity that might interest you. Send your CV to a company where you’d like to work, eve if they’re not hiring, the worst it can happen is to send your resume into the trashcan. TIPS So, while you’re waiting for that interview call, we can always create more work, and improve our resume. There are lots of good websites filled with good ideas for freelancers (which is a fancy word for unemployed), but i like these: Lifehacker, that has lots of articles for freelancers, and job seekers. Recently i found this list that looks quite interesting – 101 Essential Freelancing Resources. But there are many more and if you know others, share them with us. REAL WORLD What i recommend (but never do) is go knocking some doors and talk to people face to face. It’s harder for them to ditch our resume to the trashcan. If you worked for somebody before don’t speak bad of them. The last person who hired us must be our best reference and must be happy about our work. Talk to people, online and offline, get in touch with friends that work in what do you want to work. And above all, if can skip all this procedure and know someone who can give the job like that, use them. Do you have any more ideas on this? That’s what the comment box below is all about. Thanks. Alexandre Gamela is a writer, freelance journalist and blogger, and is currently between jobs. If you want to know him and his work, check his resume and get in touch with him.
