CAREER DEV | Brand and Land

Strategy = Business Acumen

Is your resume optimized for today’s job market?  Is your LinkedIn profile relevant in today’s marketplace?  Do you feel comfortable going into a job interview?  Do you have problems establishing a people-based network?

If the answer to any of these questions is “no” or even “I’m not sure,” then you owe it to yourself to learn how to brand and land a job.

The PMI Los Angeles Chapter is pleased to present the Brand and Land professional development event conducted by Signofied Services.  John Signo and his team have been enthusiastically received by numerous PMI chapters across North America and now it’s our turn.

Brand and Land is a one-day 5-hour weekend event that teaches PMI chapter members how to improve their personal marketability by teaching the following skills:

  • Resume Writing
  • LinkedIn Profile Optimization
  • Application Tracking System
  • Networking

Whether you are in the market looking for job or not, this hands-on event will improve your marketability and odds of landing that job or advancement opportunity.

 

THE BRAND AND LAND ADVANTAGE:  Signofied will work with up to 3 lucky attendees willing to participate and immediately benefit from this event.  Imagine if you could get free counseling on these topics and help your fellow members at the same time.  We are looking for up to 3 people to share their resume and LinkedIn profile and get real-time feedback during the Brand and Land event.  The deadline for volunteering for the “Fab 3” is August 16th.
