Congratulations, you've made it to the top of the corporate ladder! Now what? Oh right, time to develop a personal brand. Don't worry, it's not as daunting as it sounds. Just think of yourself as a product and you're going to market the H. E. double toothpicks out of it.
After all, you've got skills and expertise that are worth shouting from the rooftops. So, grab your megaphone, and let's get started...
Here’s something you may not have thought about:
How to keep your job in these uncertain times.
(Or, you can skip to the front of the line and schedule some time with Tammy.)
Here at Career Resume Consulting, we help people land their dream jobs.
Your dream job doesn’t exist in the posted job market. If you’ve been applying online and you feel like you’re in a black hole, not hearing anything from anyone, it’s because your dream job isn’t listed in the posted job market.
Is it time for you to make a move in your career outside of your current company?

Today I want to share with you a quick tip about interviews.
You’re probably getting calls from recruiters on occasion. Maybe you don’t like the role, or you’re not really interested in the job title or the company, so you turn down the interview.
How often should I post? What should I say? What should I be posting on LinkedIn?...
I’ve got a formula for you: out of every 10 posts, three should be your own content and six should be sharing other people’s content.
If you see a post you like and want to share, make sure it is consistent with the personal brand you want to portray. Your personal brand relates to how you want other people to know you or think about you before they meet you.

If you have climbed up the corporate ladder at your present employer and never gone through the hiring process for an external position with a company that doesn’t know you, you’ll want to be able to answer questions in a different way.

If you have a bachelor’s degree, even in an unrelated area, it’s a good idea to put it on the resume.
