Crushing Job Search at ProductCamp SoCal

Sat, 10/15/2011 - 7:52pm — Darrell -CareerGuy-

The Orange County Product Managers Association hosted their 3rd ProductCamp SoCal on October 15. This year's "un"conference was the largest ever, with over 300 attendees. The "un"conference setup means that, of all the possible presentations to be delivered, the attendees don't vote until the morning of the event which they want to hear.

Mon, 10/10/2011 - 10:08pm — Darrell -CareerGuy-

Come network at a FREE Job Fair hosted by Working World Magazine this Thursday, October 13, at the Hollywood & Highland Renaissance Hotel.

The Cobbler's Shoes of Personal Branding

Tue, 03/15/2011 - 9:16pm — Darrell -CareerGuy-

I spoke for the Orange County Chapter of the Marketing Executives Networking Group (MENG) this evening, covering some of the ways by which individuals can separate themselves from the crowd the same way companies and products do. It's interesting that even professionals that do this for a living for products and services need support to get past those internal governors placed on us by the cultural "rules" that you're not supposed to toot your own horn nor beat your own drum.

The Emotional Side of Career Transition

Wed, 11/10/2010 - 9:40am — Darrell -CareerGuy-

I visited the Orange County Chapter of CafeNet this morning and spoke on "SureFire Ways to Recession-PROOF Your Career." It so pays to find and visit the networking organizations around you, whether you have to shimmy out of work a couple hours in the morning or take an evening to network on your way home.

My friends Randall and Katharine Hansen at Quintessential Careers have put together the third annual Job Action Day, where they have invited career coaches and bloggers nationwide to participate in sharing hope, inspiration, tips, and both gentle and hard nudges to support job seekers in these interesting times.
