Event description

What exactly is a Professional Profile ™? And why does a new college grad, a job seeker in transition, an independent consultant, an entrepreneur or a small business owner need one?

A Professional Profile™ is much more than a chronological or functional résumé. It VIVIDLY showcases your Accomplishments, your Special Skills, and what you bring to the World of Work.

Work experience and employment history aside, who are you professionally, really? How confidently do you present yourself to future employers and clients as the IDEAL candidate?

Want to shine each and every time? We implore you to STOP the insanity. Get thee a Professional Profile ™!

    Counting the days till we meet at Soul Foods for a lively launch into creating Professional Profiles that can be repurposed in so many ways.

    And if you all don't mind playing with new material, I'll ask that you help me pilot a companion workbook in development to further guide one through the process of winning the inner game...equally important to master as much as the details of one's CV and professional profile!

    Thank you all in advance for the RSVP and if your peers are not Biznik members, they are welcome to come and of course be invited to join Biznik for the community that it is!

    Books are available for sale at Soul Foods as of this week. For those who like to read the manual before launching into new applications! (Smile.)
