Effective Personal Marketing Techniques
- If you're an IT professional looking for a more challenging career opportunity, it's important to join forces with a recruiter tied into the right networks.
- Recruiters don't readily accept calls from the individual candidates looking for career move.
- Executives and IT professionals seeking new opportunities must get on the radar screens of both the search firm as well as the prospective company.
- Think of marketing yourself as you market your company. If you want visibility in the right markets, brand equity, and tons of business, simply being great at your job isn't enough. You have to be known as the best, with a unique way of doing your job.
- Be a panel speaker at key conferences in your industry.
- Participate at functions where you meet board members, key executives, venture capitalists, and angel investors.
- Write position papers about issues and trends in the industry.
- Get to know editors and reporters from national and international publications.
- Partner with your company's public relations firm to write and circulate news releases.
- Send articles about your activities to important leaders in your industry to boost your credibility.
