Success Stories from Job Seekers – HIRED

I am VERY pleased to share some good news reported by By Joel Dresang of the Journal Sentinel. In this Sunday’s Journal, Dresang highlighted some job search SUCCESS stories – including my pal Robert (Bob) Bachman (read Bob’s story here).

My blog readers may recall Bob – he’s The Likable Engineer who created this tag line using what he learned in my personal branding presentation. As he says in the Journal Sentinel story,  “You make your own luck. If you don’t work at it, you don’t get lucky.”

Thanks to Joel and Bob for spreading the good news!

PS: Common theme throughout the story? NETWORKING. Want more help on how to network like a rock star? Check out “Rock Your Network for Job Seekers.”

For Milwaukee area residents looking to overhaul, start, change or just improve their careers, Milwaukee JobCamp2 on Thursday, July 9th, at the Potawatomi Conference Center, will offer a wealth of opportunities for career networking and practical education about the job search.

JobCamp2 is a FREE EVENT and will include a day packed with workshops and discussions led by experts on self-branding (that’s me! 11 a.m. – Personal Branding: Stand Out; Get Hired Faster!), local employment outlook, networking, resume critique, social media, interviewing and much more. For job seekers, the cost of admission is a single non-perishable food item that will be donated to the Hunger Task Force.

Make your career outlook bigger, better and brighter in a fun, relaxed, informative and collaborative environment.
