Free Class: Effective Self-Marketing in 3, 2, 1…
On Friday 4 December 2009, my buddy Scott Birkhead is offering another free class for job seekers:
Many people today approach job hunting like they did 8 or 10 years ago…and are getting very little in the way of results. For the time being, the days of putting 30 resumes out and landing a job are over.
Today, you must become the “Chief Everything Officer” of You, Inc. That means adopting tried-and-true business direct-marketing and sales tactics to become more effective with your time and the other precious resources you have at your disposal.
The one hour class starts at 1:00PM. See the web page for details:

Free Job Hunter’s Class this Friday
My CTRN buddy Scott Birkhead of the Most Placeable Candidate will be offering an interesting personal branding session for job seekers. Check it out!:
Becoming the Milkshake –
How Being LOUDLY Yourself Helps You Get Hired Faster.
Friday October 9: 1-2 p.m. – mid-town Denver
In a struggling economy, traditional job hunting skills are less and less effective. Can you adopt small-business direct-marketing skills and get hired faster? Yes!
In a famous marketing story from years ago, a restaurant wanted to increase the number of milkshakes it was selling…very profitable item, the milkshake.
It hired one group of marketers, who did classic marketing research, and spent a lot of money…but didn’t budge sales.Then it hired another, which was incredibly successful.
The difference between the two approaches to marketing a very simple product contains lessons that every job seeker should know and understand – if you want to beat a volatile, crowded market and get back to work.
In this 45 minute session, we cover:
- Assumptions and methods that could be killing your chances of landing work
- Why applying for every conceivable job may be the exact wrong thing to do (even if you are desperate for work)
- How to look beyond traditional approaches to discover what your ‘ideal client’ really wants to hear
- Easy marketing fixes to get noticed and get more interviews – NOW.
Date: Friday, Oct 9
Time: 1-2:30 pm
Place: Jobing.com Community Room
1391 Speer Blvd.,
Suite 850
Denver, CO 80204
Free parking code will be sent upon registration…
