Mission: As a marketer and business professional, I consistently strive to meet new challenges, thirst for knowledge, improve upon and learn new skills, and expand my educational tool box.
As an M.B.A. and marketer, searching for employment opportunities is not a task, it is a planned approach to secure a position where your skills and education match an organizational culture. I would like to share a five fold approach of networking in a competitive employment market.
First, take time to develop a plan of where your are seeking opportunities, hone-in on a marketing concentration, and research companies you feel are within your skill set and education. Second, review and revise your resume to boast the most important achievements, accomplishments, and focal points. Third, reach out to colleagues, industry leaders, and university associates regarding your skill set and how you would like to learn about their business sphere. Fourth, begin social networking by setting up and creating a detailed linked-in (www.linkedin.com) profile with your most recent achievements, volunteer and community work, and interesting accomplishments. Also, it would be wise to post your resume online at business and marketing forum in the regions you are geographically seeking. Additionally, you may choose to network with Career Services at your alma mader to post your resume and inquire regarding on-campus networking opportunities. Lastly, maintain a journal of the wins and losses you have experienced during your employment search and use the research to make future decisions.
As a fellow marketing professional, I wish you the best upward and onward in your marketing career. May 2013 bring you a year of true happiness and success!

2013 Roots: Best Cities For Employment
Mission: As a marketer and business professional, I consistently strive to meet new challenges, thirst for knowledge, improve upon and learn new skills, and expand my educational tool box.
As 2013 vastly approaches and 2012 becomes a glimpse of the past in your grammatically correct vocabulary, will you soon require a u-haul and transcend to a new beginning? Are your ready to make changes in your life that require you to relocate and become a new member of a new city and community?
It has been a great while since I have actively blogged, but none-the-less for great reason: business-topic blogging material. I am going through #2 pencils and leather bound journals about personal happenings rather than that of a business nature. While some gather for dinner with family and friends the topics more than likely consist of life changes (i.e.: children, employment, and sports teams). While there are very traditional family structures, my family is not so nuclear. Our family topics include business decisions, business news, the value of stocks and bonds, how well the dollar is faring and effects of interest rates.
While I truly enjoy an intense business and marketing conversation, coupled with a steaming cup of coffee, I simply allude to the thought processes that employment has become more than a dinner table conversation. As young adults are graduating from an undergraduate program with less than stellar opportunities to secure full-time employment in their fields of study, many are flocking to the homes they were raised in. Employment status affects the family structure and the family unit overall.
As I scrolled through the Internet on U.S. News , I found an article related to the top 10 U.S. Cities for employment. The cities chosen for the highest employment opportunities amassed the country, as opposed to a singular U.S. region. The top 10 U.S. cities for employment are as follows:
1.) Washington D.C., Virginia
2.) Salt Lake City, Utah
3.) Boston, Massachusetts
4.) Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
5.) St. Paul, Minnesota
6.) Austin, Texas
7.) Baltimore, Maryland
8.) Milwaukee, Wisconsin
9.) New York City, New York
10.) Hartford, Connecticut

May you have a wonderful rest of the year and look forward to new beginnings!
