Good morning!
This week I want to talk about the importance of crafting a great personal profile. In today’s world of social networks, on-line candidate databases and corporate applicant tracking systems, it is imperative that your profile or executive summary is top notch.
Think of your executive profile or executive summary as a written elevator pitch. It must be concise, it must grab attention and make the reader want to know more and it must portray your unique value proposition very quickly. Once you have devoted time to creating a single executive summary/personal profile statement, then it can be adapted quickly to new mediums. This week's featured article is about writing a great resume profile that can then be tweaked for your linked-in profile, HigherBracket.ca confidential profile and other social networking mediums.
This topic is so important we have two hands-on workshops on crafting a compelling executive summary and advanced resume strategies in Toronto and Vancouver in April and May. Learn more and register to join the HigherBracket team live here: http://www.higherbracket.ca/Events.php
The importance of being well represented on these networks should not be ignored. (This includes joining the HigherBracket group )
While you are at our Linkedin Group... take our poll about Executive MBA Programs. I had a good dialog with a subscriber of ours who is trying to decide which program to pick and we need your input.
I want to take a moment to congratulate Steve Thompson, Jason Assen and the team over at Focal Point Business Coaching for winning the "Best in Business Services" franchise award for 2011. More than a few HigherBracket members have gone on to create wealth and security with Focal Point. Read an interview from one of them here:
Have an optimistic and productive week!
