Today’s career market has impacted everyone, especially Millennials and Generation X professionals who are hoping to be promoted. And then there are Boomers who have left positions after years with the same companies or have lost the ability or desire to retire. Whether you fit in one of these groups or have a small or startup business of one employee, you need to know how to market yourself. Communicating effectively and implementing a variety of marketing strategies to promote yourself is critical to being the First Choice by a potential customer or an employer.
Job Seekers
“A Whole New World’” is not just a song in a Disney movie. It is truly a whole new world out there when it comes to job seekers. The resume is a given, but there is a whole lot more that goes into being the candidate of choice by employers today. Personality, behavior and values are playing a greater role than ever before. Communicating effectively throughout the relationship requires strategy and skills to share how you will work and what you will bring to a company is work well spent time so that you don’t blow it!
Career Transitioning
Are you transitioning out of the military? Nothing is more urgent for you than determining how to communicate your experience and skills in nonmilitary language. Your incredible service and value is not always understood by potential employers. Even knowing where to network, how to set up your LinkedIn profile, and other strategies can be overwhelming. I have assisted many military personnel in transition.
Are you transitioning out of teaching or from a nonprofit to profit organization? I took a class in 1983 for how to transition out of teaching at a local university Women’s Center. Then I took a business communications class, and when asked by the professor why I should get an A for the class, I handed him my new business cards showing my first step to starting an advertising/PR firm. I got an A (maybe not totally from that strategy, but it definitely had an impact!
