Whether you are challenged by design or default with the task of starting over or reinventing yourself, marketing yourself is a critical element to your success. Marva Goldsmith will teach you how to apply the successful commercial branding techniques to your job search.
Today, it is no longer appropriate to simply “look for a job”;
you must learn how to brand yourself in this very competitive marketplace.
The following are critical personal branding and career reinvention questions:
· How do you distinguish yourself in your marketplace?
· What can you do to gain visibility for your achievements?
· What is the best way to package your brand?
· Who can help you build your personal brand?
· What are the practical steps you need to take to re-launch yourself as a brand?
This engaging workshop was presented at the 2009 National AARP Conference in Las Vegas.
