One of the things good bloggers tell you is that you should keep going back to your old posts and see if you can add to them, improve them or take a whole new road starting from them. Whenever I have tried to do that, it just seems lazy.
Yes, I need to link back to my old articles, or how else am I going to increase the page views and the time spent on the site. But again, I find that tedious. I assume you must have read the old articles and just linking them here is not going to add any new value to you.
But maybe I am wrong. What if, you are in the middle of job search now and not when I wrote XXX. It would help you now. What if you wanted to read about a whole new you or realised today that XXX interests you. Well, then I would end up linking everything here that would be ridiculous.
Old wine, new bottle. I thought the same way when I started writing about resumes. I thought, truly there must be nothing I can add to a topic that gets a gazillion links on google search. But I did have something useful to say and I did add to the tons of stuff already out there. Some of it, was new. Was it useful, yes, it was.
So, what is this post about? well, for one it is to inspire you, cajole you, tell you or plain advice you that even in the most common task, knowledge, topic, information, there must be something new that you can bring to the table. Your personal experience in managing events, in hosting parties, in running companies, in running bosses, managing a home, driving a car makes your information new. Can you share that with others?
The same old things done better, differently can make all the difference. At Eclat Hospitality for example, we are going back to Talent Acquisition in a whole new way. Yes, the boring recruitment vertical is now called Talent Acquisition. The work remains the same, the name makes it edgier. We are now trying to see if we can develop some games around it! It seems like fun and suddenly we have a new focus on it. Can you find something similar at your work? In your life?
Personally, something new happened in my personal life too! Last evening, I decided that I will walk around the park that my daughter plays basketball at. I have never walked that path and why I do not know. It was amazing. The track is well laid out, clean and circles a well manicured cricket field. As I was walking, I realised that there is something new in every interaction if required and it is right there for the taking.
Are you taking it is the question?
Are you looking for it?
Are you hunting for it?
It is no longer a question to ask - Anything New Out There? - but an adventure to dive into!
