More jobs are posted in January than any other month, but your odds of landing one are lower

1/16/2021

​Greetings! Hope all is well and you had a good holiday season and New Year.

I wanted to share an article posted on LinkedIn that I found interesting titled: "More jobs are posted in January than any other month, but your odds of landing one of them are lower" here's the article: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/16/january-is-the-best-month-to-find-a-new-job-but-competition-is-tougher.html

Aside from the advice in the article to beat out your competition by applying early and following up with emails or interviews with the company promptly, I'd also advise booking your career & resume and LinkedIn consultations with me early, to ensure I can get you as soon as possible so that you can jump on knowing what you need to do pursue your career goals and whether you want to work with me or not.

Not looking for a job? No problem! I'd still love to have you book either a LinkedIn consultation and/or a writing, editing, or marketing consultation to see how I can better assist you with these services for your business to get more business, build professional relationships, networking, become an industry leader in your industry, gain/increase your business credibility, and much more!

August specials & website updates

Greetings!

​Hope all is well.

SOME EXCITING NEWS
​
If you haven't been to my testimonials section of my website in awhile, there have been some new improvements that I spent an hour implementing.
I've always had 3 separate testimonials pages, one for career clients, one for business owner clients, and one for individuals (clients I've helped who are not career or business owner clients).

Here are the new changes I made to improve navigability for visitors to my page who are on a phone as well as just overall professional and visual appeal:

1. Kristine Rodgers, my first testimonial video in my upper left hand corner on my career seeker page is no longer sideways. Luckily that video was on my Youtube channel, so uploading it to my website that way fixed the sideways issue.

2. All 3 of my testimonials pages I do not have more than two videos side by side which makes it easier to navigate for visitors on phones.

3. My individual testimonials page has the two testimonial videos side by side and roughly the same size, before there was an extra column or something that made the videos way smaller and hard to see.

4. I successfully added Mary's testimonial video (the one I sent out last month) on my business owner page (she's the top left corner) of that page. **PLEASE NOTE THAT I'VE ALWAYS PUT MOST RECENT TESTIMONIAL VIDEOS AT THE TOP/NEAR THE TOP OF MY PAGE SO THE MOST CURRENT IS EASIER TO ACCESS & VIEW.**

To see these changes, please visit all 3 of my testimonial pages:

This 2.5 minute video will answer why you should hire me &/or refer me over someone else

7/7/2020

Greetings!

I hope everyone had a good 4th of July. I was able to get things done while still enjoying Korean BBQ chicken (my first time trying Korean food), which was really good and watch some fireworks.

Why should you hire me and/or refer someone else to me?


One of the quotes I really like is, "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care," --John C. Maxwell

It's true, yes it matters to a point, how much experience you have doing in your area of expertise, when someone considers hiring you and/or referring you to someone they know who can use your services, but it's also about them liking, knowing, and trusting you. I learned that long ago at networking groups that I attended even before I started my business 7.5 years ago.

It's not about having the cheapest price either. I once hired a professional and they were a really great price, the price was so great that it was the cheapest I had ever paid for that service that wasn't the determining reason(s) why I went with them, though. I learned after working with them, that the time and stress while working with them gave me this conclusion: I could either deal with the 'pain' of paying the high going rates of this service and not deal with all the time and stress that I did with this individual or I could deal with the 'pain' of paying a super cheap rate, but deal with a lot of my time and stress when this service on average takes 2 hours with the professional.

I recently attended a networking group online, shortly after corona virus hit and had met the organizer for the first time. He asked me how I was different than someone else who offered my services, when he had mentioned how he had known someone who could use career help. I first told him that, "In life, you get what you pay for," (not trying to speak ill of Work Source, a free government agency that helps individuals find employment), then I shared with him how a past client of mine who was in her 40's hugged me after she met with me (yes, well before corona virus times with the social distancing in the beginning years of my business) because she had gone to Work Source for help and she told me how they told her if she didn't have the experience for a job listing, don't bother applying and weren't very helpful for her and she had even cried. That same client had gotten a job a week after she had used the resume I wrote for her. That was enough to convince that networking organizer to give me a referral.

Below is another example of a client of mine sharing in the 2 minute & 55 second video with specific examples of why you should hire me and/or refer me for your business writing needs. 
Be sure to click on the white sideways looking arrow in the middle of the video below after you make sure your volume on your device is loud enough for you to hear.

Conversation Cards Networking event

6/29/2020

0 Comments

 
Are you looking for business networking opportunities either for a job or business?

Are you 18 & older & just want to have a fun evening off to play a fun game, meet & get to know others, get to know yourself better, utilize/build your critical thinking, interviewing, & confidence?

Do you or someone you know need/want any of the following services now or in the future: career help, career prep services, business marketing consulting, writing, editing, or LinkedIn services in general?

If you answered "YES" to any of the above questions, this event is for you and/or the person/people you know that meet the above criteria.

Tuesday, June 30, 2020 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm ONLINE using "gotomeeting" a very easy to use video conferencing software using your computer, phone, or tablet (similar to Zoom, but not Zoom).

I learned long ago that we do business with people who we know, like, and trust. I also know that relationships take time to build. This is the perfect game to play with someone you think you know, do know, and want to get to know. It's a fun, friendly, game to be played with those age 18 & over. 18 & over doesn't mean you have to worry about questions related to sex, violence, political affiliation, or anything else that could be deemed offensive. The game advises that age range. There are 20 questions in the deck and we will all take turns answering.

Some of the questions in the deck:

I've always envisioned myself as....?
Where would you like to see yourself 5 years from now?
Which teacher do you remember the most and why?
What is the most memorable historical event to you?
What country would you like to live in if you had the chance?

At the beginning of the event, I will introduce myself, the event logistics, and everyone in attendance will have a chance to introduce themselves by answering your name, how you found out about my event, & what you do for a living (if applicable, &/or what you're looking for/hope to gain from the event).

For the 2 hours of networking, fun, critical thinking & interviewing skills, it's $41.31 per person & includes the small card fee included to process your card that I don't benefit from or $31.35 if you bring someone & includes the small card fee to process your card that I don't benefit from & you would VISIT THIS LINK: https://conta.cc/2Ya1Nb2 WHICH GOES DIRECTLY TO MY NEWSLETTER WHICH WILL SHOW MY JUNE SPECIALS & YOU'D SCROLL DOWN TO THE SECTION THAT DISCUSSES THIS MATERIAL & click the "green BUY NOW" button below this paragraph to purchase securely & privately. Deadline to register for this event is 4 pm Pacific Standard Time on the day of the event. If you decide you want to snail mail your admission to me, you need to contact me via email ASAP & snail mail payment no later than Thursday, June 25, 2020 by (12 noon) Pacific Standard Time to allow it to arrive in time (even if we live in the same city or state). Cash/check/money order option would be $40 per person or $30 if you bring someone. No refunds under any circumstances regardless of how you pay.

Thank you!

LinkedIn Marketing package which is a "thank you for the connection" marketing letter that will be used when you connect with someone on LinkedIn to market yourself to find jobs and/or business on LinkedIn.

I write for you this normally approximately a 3 paragraph (almost a page minimum) letter after I interview you via "gotomeeting" very easy to use video conferencing software (I will have emailed the questions to you in advance so that you can mentally prepare your answers) and then I will play back the video interview recording on my own time to take notes and write your marketing letter. You will receive 2 sets of edits in the price. 2 sets of edits is defined as you look at the first draft of the letter and as long as it's not completely writing a new letter I will make any edits you'd like and then provide you another draft and if there are edits you'd like made, I will make them and then provide you another draft and if there are still edits to be made, I will make them. Anything past that I will provide you a price quote (if applicable) at that time.

To sweeten this deal and help you out during this corona virus time since I know that many have suffered with non-booming business in their business and/or reduced hours or laid off at work as well as many other ways your life has been affected due to corona virus, I want to throw in an additional 2 paragraphs past the 3 paragraph length FREE (that's approximately 86 words anything under 100 words) - a $25 FREE) this offer expires on Sunday, May 31, 2020 before 11:55 pm Pacific Standard Time as well.

5 ways to make money as a writer during this corona virus time 30-minute online live seminar

6/29/2020

1 Comment

 
Are you a writer and/or want to be a writer that will make money during this corona virus time (while staying at home & safe from corona virus)?

Are you a self-starter that is organized, has consistent access to a reliable computer with internet and Microsoft Word software (or similar alternative)?

Are you interested in making supplemental income and/or a full-time income as a writer?

No advanced degree or degree required for that matter.

If you're open to committing 30 minutes of your time online to watch my live-seminar with "Gotomeeting" (my very easy to use video conferencing software) where you download the link I send and meet me online at that time and have a computer, tablet, phone/device that has a web cam and speakers (heck, even if you don't have a computer with a webcam, you can still call in with your phone, you just won't be able to see my slides), keep reading...

What I will discuss in my "5 ways to make money as a writer during this corona virus time 30 minute seminar" on Thursday, May 28, 2020 5:30 pm PST (Pacific Standard Time) to 6 pm

  • The demand for sympathy greeting cards and greeting card writers for sympathy greeting cards has exponentially risen since this past March to present and how you can become a greeting card writer
  • How you can start your own blog for free and how to make money with your blog, including some blog ideas & how to drive traffic to your blog
  • How to utilize the free and non-free version of LinkedIn to get writing projects & positions (& even non-writing ones for that matter)
  • Another secret website you could have a profile on now to get writing work that actually works (& even non-writing ones for that matter)

If this sounds like something you and/or someone else would like to attend, purchase your tickets TODAY. It's $31.35 per person and you'd purchase your ticket by GOING TO THIS LINK THAT GOES DIRECTLY TO MY NEWSLETTER WHICH SHOWS THIS SAME MATERIAL & selecting the "BUY NOW" purple button below and purchase with a debit or credit card securely & privately. If you will be bringing another person to my seminar you'll save $10.40 for your admission and select the payment option of $20.95 for your ticket when you click the "BUY NOW" purple button below. If anyone selects the $20.95 option, I will verify that person is present on the call and if they aren't, you will be emailed a secure invoice to pay $10.60 with a debit or credit card to pay the regular rate (as there's a small fee to process your card that I don't benefit from to pay the remaining balance of your admission since you didn't bring a guest).

The cut-off time to purchase your ticket(s) through the "BUY NOW" purple button below is 5 pm Pacific Standard Time on Thursday, May 28, 2020 (a half hour before the seminar begins). So, make sure anyone you want to invite has plenty of notice when you invite them so they and/or you can purchase their ticket(s) in time. No refund(s) of any kind under any circumstance(s) for anyone.

If you attend the seminar and it's something you think someone you know can benefit, I will have a recorded version that I could email to you after I send you a secure email invoice to pay the $31.35 rate with a debit or credit card.

Thank you!

Now is the time

Hello!

​With many of you working from home (both business and personal), as well as hopefully minimizing travel due to corona virus here's another "to do" you need to do right now whether you're a business owner, career seeker, or business professional in general - updating/revamping your LinkedIn profile or getting a profile setup (if you don't have one).


Why now? Because it's the one thing that is always done 100% remotely so there's no chance of putting your or my health at risk for corona virus. The value of a revamped/new LinkedIn profile is invaluable to helping market yourself professionally as well as advancing in your career. It's an "advertisement" that works for you even when you're not doing anything with it (i.e. you're sleeping or going about your regular life) and an "investment" for you NOW and in the FUTURE. All in a one-time payment that can be getting you business and/or jobs TODAY.​





​
If it's something you've put off or never thought of, NOW is the TIME. It's no different than when people do "spring cleaning" and/or "regular maintenance/cleaning/projects" at some point you know it needs to get done (i.e. dusting and cleaning all your windows and light fixtures in your home), 
so why NOT do it at a time when you know when life "isn't normal" right now with corona virus so you can have a "competitive advantage", "be prepared," and "stand out" amongst your other competition out there who are in similar situation(s) to you? (i.e. laid off, not booming with business, etc.)

Picture

In the LinkedIn revamp/setup package, I interview you to write your story of your work experience for your bio section of your LinkedIn profile (versus just listing experience like some people do (i.e. 10 years management experience, 5 years sales which is not interesting or engaging), fill out your entire job/business history, volunteer experience, causes you support, awards, letters of recommendation, samples of your work, video links, patents, publications, attach pictures, etc. for each job/business you've had. I will change your profile photo to a professional photo (if you have one) or refer you to a professional photographer. I also change your LinkedIn profile URL (website link) so you can be easier found when you share your LinkedIn link on your email signatures, business cards, etc. and your headline to an attention grabbing headline. I also fix any grammar, spelling, punctuation, and syntax errors in your LinkedIn profile. All for a one-time payment of $250 and instead of charging the debit/credit card processing fee which with this charge which would be $260.15, I am waiving it for this month's corona virus specials that's a $10.15 savings!

​I am also giving a $10 off discount for any service or consultation of mine that is $75 or more (cannot be combined with any other discount/special/etc.) that can be used within 1 year of the date of purchase with this package purchase and it can be gifted to someone else if you are not wanting to use, but the same deadline & terms & conditions apply. I am literally saving you $10.15 NOW and giving you $10 off in the future a $20.15 total savings!


For this AMAZING special, all you have to do is click the purple "Buy Now" button at the bottom of this newsletter link: https://conta.cc/2RNNYLP BEFORE April 30th at 11:55 pm PM Pacific Standard Time.You or the person you purchase this LinkedIn package for can be used 1 year from the date of purchase.
