A Job Seeker’s Personal Marketing Plan

While involved in ‘the challenging waters’ of career transition, the same chaotic, jobless, trying times are very productive times.  Don’t waste them by floundering with lack of focus and direction, falling into the dark, depressive attitude of distractions and, worst of all, inaction…

When we are employed, we tend to function under the guidance of our employer’s business plan, or, more specifically, our job description. Our ‘routine’ is defined by:

• Personal accountability to a labyrinth of responsibilities, some structured— some not structured at all—but all contributing to productive work activities…
  

• We create productivity and efficiency with our sense of time management…
  

• And as ‘top talent’ professionals, we often take initiative, make process improvements, and contribute to the Company’s growth.
