I’m an experienced Sales and Marketing pro with 20 years experience in selling technology into the retail channel. My department was eliminated recently so I’m officially hunting for my next career adventure. It’s been a long time (at least 12 years) since I’ve actively searched for a job.
Being a lover of all things geeky I thought this trek through online applications, LinkedIn research, and networking via social media would be right up-my-alley. Wow, do I feel anonymous? Yes…even with a great network of friends and colleagues.
I’ve faced enough challenges so far to feel I have current insight into the process(es) and pitfalls – and want to share the wealth. Plus I’d love to hear the wisdom of others. So here goes something…
This is a great resource for new grads to retired execs seeking meaningful ways to represent and recreate & represent themselves in ways that others will FIND them beyond the online company ‘send resume’ job application.
Thanks for the education on what’s out there, why it’s important, and how to get started. As a development and performance coach – what you are sharing in this blog will help folks take ideas to implementation.
Great job!
