Imagine banging your head against the wall 150 times until you crack a hole, and you finally squeeze through the hole. Once inside, you meet a coworker and they tell you that another coworker opened the door and asked them to walk in. That’s the difference between applying for a job versus knowing how to market yourself to attract opportunities.
My Career Journey
I have made 11 career transitions, been laid-off five times, hired for an executive position without experience, and companies have create positions for me. I didn’t apply online for most of my jobs, submit a resume or a cover letter. So how did I get hired?
- I learned to network like an introvert
- I built and promote my professional brand
- I stay top-of-mind
