Perhaps not "lesser known", but I've been using keyboard shortcuts for years under "Settings": This probably comes from my vim background, but inside gmail, I almost never use the mouse. Instead:While viewing a list of threads (i.e. Inbox, All Mail, Drafts, search results, etc.):c to compose a new mailj and k to move the cursor down and upx to select/deselect the current thread that's pointed to by the cursore to archive all threads that have been selected [Enter] to go into the thread pointed to by the cursor"g i" to go to my Inbox"g a" to go to All Mail"g d" to go to DraftsWhile inside a thread:n and p to browse down and up messages inside a thread (move the cursor up and down)a to reply all (or r to reply individually, but that's rare) to the message currently pointed to by the cursorf to forward the message that's pointed to by the cursoru to go back to the previous thread list view, which could be your Inbox, All Mail, Drafts, etc. This is the same as the back button: s to toggle through the stars on the message currently pointed to by the cursorIn case you're wondering, the "cursor" is the very thin vertical blue line visible to the left of the third thread in this picture:Other useful shortcuts:/ to make the search bar active"* u" to select all unread emails"* n" to deselect all emailsShift+i to mark all selected emails as readShift+u to mark all selected emails as unreadWhile inside a thread, Shift+u will bring you back to the previous thread list view and marking the current thread as unread. I do this a lot to keep important threads at the top of my inbox.And that's basically all I ever do in gmail. It can be painful to learn at first, but just start with the very basics: j, k, and [Enter] to browse through your inbox. Within a month or two, you'll be zipping through your inbox like Usain Bolt through the 200m.Full list: http://support.google.com/mail/b...Edit: David Craige mentioned a very useful Google Labs add-on under "Settings --> Labs": a [Send & Archive] buttonAnd another useful add-on:

Gmail offers many tools for us organize our inbox, such as folders, labels, and even tabs, which in turn saves time when we want to look for some particular mails.Labels are a simple way to categorize our messages. For eg : When a mail comes from friends we can label them as friends and if a mail comes from work, we can label them as work. So next time if we want to check those mails, we dont have to look through our entire inbox. We can just click on the respective labels they belong to. And from there the mail we want to look into.Steps to create and tag mails with LabelsGo to Create new label option on your left menu bar. (You may have to click on More to show this button)Then enter the name of the label you want to create.Then click on create.Then go to the mail you want to add the label toClick on the label button and choose the label you want to applyOn your left menu bar you will see a new category has come up having the label name you just created.When you click on it, it will show the mails to which the label is added to

Just as the best product is the one that gets the job done, the best resumes are those that communicate your skills and accomplishments in a clear, effective way. Graphical resumes are, in particular, terrible. Unless you can be one of the lucky few to get a bunch of media attention for a nifty format, you will hurt yourself far more than you'll help yourself if you use a graphical resume. Graphical resumes are typically difficult to read and they sacrifice content -- your hard-earned accomplishments -- in favor of pretty pictures and useless graphics. See: Why Your Awesome, Creative Resume Isn’t Working.A good resume format has the following attributes:Multiple Columns: Multiple columns make it easier for someone to quickly skim your company titles, positions, schools, and other key facts. It also stores this information in a very compact way, allowing more space to list things you've done. (Note: do not use one of those templates where the entire left part of the resume is a column for the categories. They waste a lot of space.)Short and Sweet: People only spend about 5 - 30 seconds reading your resume, and this isn't enough to read even a full page of content. When your make your resume too long, it just dilutes the quality of each thing on your resume. Focus on just the highlights. One page is often all you need, but if you have 10+ years of experience and multiple roles, you can justify at most two pages. That's it though.The Right Sections: No objectives (they're useless). Summary sections can be okay, but they're usually not (after all, if your resume is short and concise, then you don't really need a summary section). Use Tables: Okay, this is really nit picky, but it's a personal pet peeve of mine. The way to make multiple columns in Microsoft Word is with tables (with invisible columns), not by hitting 'space' dozens of times. Bulleted -- No Long Text Blobs: Again, you only have about 15 seconds to make an impression. Large blocks of text will not be read. Keep your bullets to 1 - 2 lines (and, ideally, about half or more of those bullets should be one line).Appropriate Use of Fonts and Formatting: You don't want to go overboard with fonts and formatting. However, a little bit of formatting (bold, italics, etc) can be useful to organize your resume.So with that said, here are two formats that work perfectly well:This resume can be downloaded here: http://www.careercup.com/resume.This resume can be downloaded here: http://www.thegoogleresume.com/r...The first resume is a format I designed myself, whereas the second one is a format required by Wharton's MBA program.

I love conferences, but it has to be the right conference. The right conference packed with prospects is without a doubt a lot more efficient than 1:1 meetings.Ideally, you should be at a conference devoid of your peers and full of people in your target market. For me, developer conferences are to find partners, and conferences with useless to me sessions are to find customers. If you are at a conference session to learn something new, you are likely not where your potential customers are. The exception to that is when you are trying to grasp a new target vertical market.Example: Paypal X Innovate and Dreamforce - find partners, sessions are very valuable. Techcrunch Disrupt - find customers, partners, and investors. I didn't watch a single session live at Disrupt but met over 200 people.There is a serendipity factor at conference meetings, but they can be very effective. You simply want to talk to everyone but work the room without consuming a lot of time per person. It does not matter much to me who that person is or what title they are wearing. There are many people with secondary roles that are quite interesting but not advertised on their badges. That's how I met several serial entrepreneurs with signNow exits in the past, for example. I don't exchange cards unless the other person is interested enough to ask me for one. I usually exchange cards with 30-60 people per day. I talk to more people than that. It is not uncommon for me to give away over 100 cards. When we start getting into a seriously in-depth discussion, I suggest a follow-on meeting and schedule it on the spot. This is so the person I am talking to can maximize her limited available time to find other interesting people.You really need to be prepared to discuss your business and you need to be able to genuinely become interested in anything the other person might be telling you. I often introduce by email people who can help them to my new contacts while we are still talking in the first several minutes. You need to have several use cases that can describe your product very quickly. By letting the other person tell you about their business first, you can tailor your response to make it more relevant to their needs.This goes back to elevator pitches. I've done introductions in actual elevators in less than 10 seconds that resulted in follow-on meetings. A good test of getting your elevator pitch nailed is to try it after a couple of glasses of wine and see if people still get it.The majority of local networking events are not nearly as good in that regard. Sometimes the music is too loud, for example. I am working on something to make startup events more productive, but the current model for events like Startup Weekend is a popularity contest and very inefficient.You want to have your slide deck available on your cell phone. A demo signNowly increases the value of a connection you just made. I catch myself trying to describe a screen, pull out my phone and show a couple of screenshots from a PDF deck. I recently started pre-cuing my deck to the relevant screenshots because I know at what exact point of a verbal discussion I would normally pull it out.I sometimes would send a quick email to the person I just met while I am talking to her. My mobile e-mail signature contains a link to a PDF version of my deck.Conferences are very exhausting to me. I am at three conferences this week.I invest lots of time into conference networking because for me it yields amazing results. 1:1 does not scale very well for initial meetings with mostly random people. Obviously, 1:1 with someone like Fred Wilson (Venture Investor) is an entirely different story. :)No networking answer is complete without mentioning Toastmasters International where we teach you how to communicate clearly and succinctly. :)
