Crushing Job Search at ProductCamp SoCal

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. My presentation, "Crushing Job Search: Break the Rules, Cut the Line, Beat the Rest" was chosen as one of only 30 presentations for this all-day "un"conference.

My talk centered on the idea of YOU as the product, and the culturally-ingrained "rules" one needs to break to stand out in this economy. I also focused on the 10 principles of launching an effective "stealth" career campaign...the subject of my upcoming book.
