Simplicity and Personal Brand for Job Seekers
Stephen Melanson, the corporate branding specialist, has announced a two-session workshop for job-seekers.
Dec 10 and 17 - 1-2:00 PM ET
If you're looking for your next professional role, you have to break away from the pack and be clear about your value. And if it's not simple enough, it won't work as well as you need.
Why would an employer be crazy to not hire you? Do you know? Can you verbalize it in about 5 seconds, or describe it in a few words?
In this two-session package, we'll cover:
• The rules for 'Simplicity' as a business tool
• What 'Verbal Branding' is, and how to use it
• How to differentiate and not commoditize yourself
• Building a strategy for job seeking that works
• Viewing the effort to sell yourself
• How to be more effective in less time
• The scary, critical truth about being memorable
• Confidence and a little courage
TESTIMONIAL QUOTE: Conference Speaker for Top 5 Asset Management firm worldwide: Annual Summit, 2019 “Yours was the only session to get a perfect score from the audience.”
Folks, please note: There are no refunds for this package. Please be sure you can attend before signing up.
