March 8th hosts International Women’s Day and a Twitter chat, global trends for recruiting

Brand Career Management Monthly Newsletter – March 2019

Hello Everyone,

Thanks to those of you who reached out since the January newsletter with positive feedback! It means a lot and I appreciate it. It’s great to hear that so many of you like the new look for the newsletter and I hope you had a chance to check out our new website at www.brandcareermanagment.com.

March is a special month because March 8 is International Women’s Day (IWD). To that end, this issue will share articles about recruiting trends around the globe along with a post about brave women who have changed careers.

Also, in honor of IWD, I will be co-hosting a Twitter chat with my colleague Lynn Carroll on March 8th from 12:30-1:30pm.  The event will be hosted on her Twitter page (@LynnCarrollCoach) using the hashtag  #Negotiate4More. This Twitter chat will share conversation, tips and resources about salary negotiation. I hope you can join us.

To your career success,

Paula

LINKED IN – TIP OF THE MONTH

How to Find a Mentor on LinkedIn

This month’s tip is “evergreen,” because it’s useful no matter when you do it. It’s about customizing your LinkedIn URL, which is a quick and easy way to enhance your LinkedIn profile.  Maybe you have already done it?  If not, it only takes a few minutes. Recently, I wrote about why and how to personalize your LinkedIn URL in this blog post:  https://www.brandcareermanagement.com/how-to-improve-your-linkedin-profile-in-5-minutes/
