CAREER ADVICE FROM THE SOURCE
Whether you’re new to the job market or looking to make a change, our career tips can help.
I want to help you get to where you want to be.
We’re constantly bombarded by companies marketing and selling things to us. Whether it’s the new sneakers they make you believe you must have or the next iPhone about to release, brands are marketing to you every day. Believe it or not, you really have a crucial role in all the marketing happening out there. It’s to consciously and actively market yourself.
Over the past 17 years, I’ve built my career in marketing. I've been hired by companies ranging from global brands to start ups to help them solve marketing challenges. Helping others through marketing is not just my profession; it’s my passion.
While building my marketing career, I also started career coaching; fueled by my desire to share the insights I’ve gained around career success that aren't taught in school. Working with countless students and young professionals, I've developed a kind, yet direct approach to help people move past just looking good on paper to actuallygetting what they want in their careers. It has worked time and time again, which made me think…
What if I could teach more people about the parallels between marketing and career building? Simply stated, marketing is connecting a product or service with a target consumer. Building your career is the same thing - it's just that YOU are the product and the career or company is your target.
I had a dream years ago to write a book on this topic to make all my tips and tools available to more people. I’m thrilled to announce that dream has become a reality with my new venture: Made To Hire: Market Yourself For The Career You Want. Not only is that the title of my upcoming book, set to release next fall, but also the name of my new company. The company is focused on helping students and young professionals reach their career goals by thinking like an expert marketer.
Over the next few months I’m excited to share more with you about Made To Hire. Not only will I be publishing my first book, but also hosting workshops (the next one is Feb 10th at the Moda Center and it's open to the public). I’ll let you know when workshop registration is live. An online course is also in the works.
I hope you'll stay connected with me on this journey as I launch Made To Hire. The best way to do so is to follow my new Twitter account, @MadeToHire, and look for updates on my LinkedIn page.
Thank you for all your support!
