Millennial Strategist Application



(The following post is for an IBM hiring manager who is seeking a Millennial Strategist.)

Hello PK,
After seeing the Millennial Strategist position, the following question came to mind, "How would a true Millennial Strategist apply for this position?"

In answer to that question I have created a Blog entry seeking comments, YouTube video, Tweet on Twitter, LinkedIn Group, and Facebook group.

While those channels are powerful in getting my message to you (and the world), the real power is in the public's ability to respond. So in that spirit I invite those who have worked with me to comment on my ability to add value as a Millennial Strategist. I appreciate your feedback.

Millennial Strategist description:
This position is to increase the number of IT professionals from the millennial generation actively using developerWorks as their primary source for technical information, community, and learning. This position requires first hand knowledge of the millennial generation, their learning patterns and behaviors, and community preferences as well as an academic background in statistical analysis and marketing to consume market intelligence, combine it with first hand knowledge, and develop marketing plans to recruit and engage this generation of IT professionals in developWorks and get them using IBM technology in their jobs.

Scott, another example of your creativity!

I recommend Scott Kelly. Scott is a professional with high integrity. What is most impressive about Scott is his ability to do so much with so few resources. With very little budget, he has been able to create and market new technology inside IBM that have transformed the way teams operate. This capability is an asset in any position.

When Scott asked me to read the job post for the Millenial Strategist, it read like it should be the perfect fit for Scott. To see what I mean, please read my comments, written before this job posting, about his Web 2.0 skills, effort and desire to measure results on his LinkedIn entry. Go here http://www.linkedin.com/in/scottakelly and scroll to recommendations.

PK, Scott's approach is very creative and totally Millennial. I found him on twitter and featured it in my blog www.millennialmarketing.blogspot.com IBM is cool for having this kind of job and Scott seems like the right guy to fill it!

I like Scott's approach here. He can clearly demonstrate his skills by describing his knowledge and expertise in social media and strategy. It's amazing what a little ingenuity like his can do at little cost.

Scott, Your application is incredibly impressive. It is a powerful demonstration of the business applications of social media and the web (I am getting tired of calling it web 2.0...)
