“10 Career Resolutions that Will Forever Change your Clients’ Success”
January 19, 2012 (Thurs.)
1 pm PT / 2pm MT / 3pm CT / 4pm ET
We have all heard of the number one fear of humans—public speaking—and you can imagine that right behind that, though it sounds silly, is simply talking to people. Yet, talking to people is by far the best way to not only get a job or make a career shift, but it’s the ideal way to actually land into doing something you truly love.
Going light-years beyond a simplistic idea of “informational interviewing”, Career Strategist and Networking Aficionado Darrell W. Gurney’s new book, Never Apply for a Job Again: Break the Rules, Cut the Line, Beat the Rest, gets people outside the “box” of their house, their computer, and their phone to actually meet, greet, and find the treat in the world around them…as well as big players in their fields of interest.
Today, Darrell will offer 10 resolutions that every career professional should declare for themselves whether in a volatile economy or not, to ensure:
- The maintenance of one’s dignity
- The expansion of one’s interests
- The connections to one’s door-openers
- The creation of one’s career tribe
- The calling of one’s career shots
