"Step It Up a Notch" Contest - There's Still Time!

I’m holding my first-ever contest! It's almost the end of the month, but yes, there is still time to jump in!

As a Certified Job Search coach, much of what I do is ask you all to “step it up a notch:” make your resume a little sharper and more focused, increase your networking, and take the strategy of job search to a level higher than many of you are used to. Turning your job search strategy into a proactive campaign was even the topic of our free Teleseminar this month.

It’s time for me to be walking the walk with my business that I talk with each of you in our sessions. I’m stepping it up a notch in all aspects of my business, and am very excited about expanding my services to offer you even more support and opportunities as you go through your career transition.

During the month of May I will be holding a referral contest!

Yes, for every referral you send me that becomes a client in the month of May, your name will be entered in a drawing for one of THE BEST job search books out there, Job Search Magic. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

The Details
Simple: Just refer your friends and colleagues to me. For each referral that becomes an active client, your name goes into a drawing for the book. The lucky winner will be announced in the next newsletter. (Please make sure your referrals pass along your name, so that I can keep track.)

About the Prize
Job Search Magic by Susan Whitcomb is a 532 page “bible” of all things related to Job Search. It’s a wonderful resource for yourself or gift for someone you know who might be going through their own job search. Here are a few reviews:
  • "Any job seeker who follows the formula in this comprehensive, entertaining, and clearly written guide should expect success." -- Laura A. DeCarlo, President, Career Directors International
  • "Packed full of quick tips, checklists, coaching questions, and more to further accelerate your successful search." -- Wendy S. Enelow, Founder and Past President, Career Masters Institute
  • "The most comprehensive book on the market, covering the topic with wit, expertise, superb examples, and a holistic approach." -- Louise Kursmark, President, Best Impression Resume and Career Services

This contest is my way of thanking you all for your support of my business, and how grateful I am for all of your referrals! Good luck!
