Top 9 Ways To Gain Experience

Top 9 Ways To Gain Experience

Experience is an important factor in having mojo, as I have said here. In this post, I will give you my
list of ways to get your own experience. This list is intended to inspire you to increase your own mojo. Read it and think about it as you work to increase your own mojo.

Here are the best websites I have found.

Many sources make lists. I have used them to build mine for you. Wikipedia is a source that does a good job of describing how a list is built. But I don't rely on it. Instead, I used these websites and my own judgements.


Many of the advice columns I have seen advise you how to get experience in a particular field. Instead, I want to describe general ideas that are applicable in almost any field.
Here are the top 9 based on these sites and my own opinions: They aren't in any particular order.
1. Internships - You do the work, you get experience. Unfortunately, you are not compensated 
as a full time employee would be, if at all. However, it is worth it to get the exact experience that you want.
2. Volunteer - Of course you are even less likely to be well compensated than as an intern. However, it still might be worth your time to get some experience.
3. Coursework - Sometimes, coursework is directly relevant to the work you want to do. If so, some will count it as experience
4. Conferences - These are held in most fields. Attendance at the right ones can enhance any resume. It is a different kind of experience, bu it can be sold as experience nonetheless.
5. Brand yourself - I am not referring to starting your own business. Instead, I mean trumpeting the gifts you have. You can follow the alleged lead of the Union Of Concerned Scientists (two people with a fax machine) or just create a brand for your own skills, as you see them. Depending on your chutzpah, you can sell yourself as a brand to anyone interested in your skills. It isn’t lying if you can follow through.
6. Temp agencies - You get paid, although benefits and job security are not expected. Sometimes, these types of positions are taken by experienced people who like the freedom they get. In any event, if they are available, they offer a chance to get experience in your field.
7. Work freelance/entrepreneur - unlike branding yourself, this is a job or company that you start yourself. The upside is that you get very valuable and marketable experience. The downside is you are responsible for everything
8. Get a certificate - Similar to doing coursework, but a certificate is not always the conclusion of classroom activity. Having one can demonstrate to the world that you know what you are doing.
9. Join a club - There are many clubs available and you should be able to find one in your fields. Hardly any willing person is turned away. Don’t expect to be paid, but you can work in your chosen field and get experience.
There’s my list. I hope you can get some experience and help your mojo. Click to tweet.

  Mojo Heroes And Antiheroes There are both heroes and antiheroes among people with high mojo. There is no law that says a person with high mojo has to be a nice person. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t. Let’s define anti-hero. Webster says an anti-hero is “a protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities”. Examples of heroic qualities are strength, ability, achievement, courage, and nobility. The number of anti-heroes compared to heroes is greater in fiction than in real life. It is just more fun to write about or play the more complex characters typified by anti-heroes. It exploits the talents of the actors better. It also seems as if there are more anti-heroes today than in prior years. But all of the people I am about to mention had high mojo, whether hero or anti-hero. In an earlier post , I described the top 10 American people with high mojo. They were George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, Benjamin F

Top 10 Mojo Effects

Top 10 Mojo Effects I am going to concentrate on the effects of a high mojo individual or set of individuals on a group of people, rather than on individuals themselves who have mojo. If you acquire more mojo for your group, you may experience one or more of these effects. There are three types of effects that you will see. There are the direct effects of increasing mojo on the group. There are the indirect effects of the example set by adding the mojo. Lastly, there are the synergistic effects each group member experiences from having a teammate with mojo. When you add mojo to your group, you also add each of the component of mojo : motivation , expertise , experience , support , faith , willingness to act , and luck . Obviously there is a net increase in each of these in the group. But with them, you get an example of proper attitude, behavior, and preparation (see below for the effects these will have). Also, each member of your group will come to know that they have a rol

How To Know If You Are Too Old

Age and mojo How old can you be to start an activity? You have probably heard all of these: Age is just a number You are never too old  Youth isn’t all it’s cracked up to be There is no age limit to anything On the other hand, proverbial wisdom says: Youth must be served You need to do something for 10,000 hours before you can be good at it, If you fail early, you can learn from the experience before others even get started. It is easier to adopt good habits when you are young. These statements conflict with other. What is the truth? I will discuss four different ways of looking at age. Average “best” age Inspiration from outstanding performances at advanced ages Age limiting factors Age preventative measure People speak of a peak age for any given event. The best way to look at age is as a probability. For example, the probable peak age for a female gymnast is in the early teens. The probable peak age for a sprinter is in the late tw
