Tip #9: Develop a suite of value-driven career collaterals It’s well known that new opportunities come not from on-line job sites, but from the building of an on-line presence, a meet up at a professional event, a call from a recruiter or contact, or even an article that spawns some good PR. Each of these situations requires different personal marketing materials. At a minimum, today's jobseeker or career-savvy executive needs a targeted resume, and a solid 30-second elevator pitch for different avenues which all enhance your personal branding. Other marketing communications pieces that are sometimes needed are mini-statements or profiles for building your online presence in social networking sites, executive bios, and value statements. We can assist you in development of any of these if needed.
