Presidential Branding?



Presidential Branding?
 
Shortly, the Republicans and the Democrats will be holding their conventions.
 
Are the presidential contenders branding themselves wisely?
 
Here's my take. In my opinion, they are not. The mudslinging on both sides is supposed to serve as a sledgehammer to destroy the opponent. The success of that approach is questionable.
 
What should the contenders be doing? Only pitching themselves and acting as if the other does not exist.
 
When you present yourself at an interview, you must adopt the mindset that I am the one and only Right Fit. That means you never think about or ask whether other candidates are interviewing for the postition that you want. Your goal is to convince the employer, at the first interview, that you are the One Right Fit. If you do not, then the probability of you getting the job decreases as employers continue to compare and contrast candidates, or decide to eliminate the job.
 
Now is the time to accelerate your job search. Be sure that your resume communicates your brand and that you take charge of the employer interview.

Act Now Before They Do

Act Now Before They Do!

Shortly, the Republicans and the Democrats will be holding their conventions.

How will that impact you?

Here's my take. After both conventions conclude, employers could view hiring from a new perspective, depending upon who they believe could win the election. Some will downsize their employees, others will put a freeze on hiring, and then there will be some who could decide to accelerate hiring.

Given that we can only speculate, I heartily advise that if YOU are in the process of closing a search, it is imperative that you do so immediately. For those who want to capture a new position by the end of 2012, you must accelerate your search now.

Be sure that your resume communicates your brand and that you take charge of the employer interview.

For my advice, call my office: (310)443-4277 to arrange a time to speak with me.
