Thanks for the words of encouragement. I’m glad to see that you are active on Twitter and have your own website with videos and pictures. Creating your online identity and establishing a personal brand is very important when looking for jobs, especially in marketing. Great start!

Matt

I keep going back to our conversation last year about what it’s like to search for a career. Unlike you I was starting at ground zero fresh out of college at the time.

After the initial panic mode, my right brain slowly caught up to my left and I was able to find a balance.

You’re a very creative individual but rational as well. I believe you’ll have success moving forward.

Hmmm, I don’t like the sounds of that. I was thinking more like IBM or Apple.

Your book “New Rules of Marketing and PR” has been a great inspiration to me. It’s encouraged me to start blogging and has triggered some great thoughts about personal branding. It’s also helped during the interview process, as many companies I’m speaking with know they need to create more content, but don’t know how to get started.

Best,
Matt

I was fired (okay laid off) three times. And each time I ended up doing something better than before. Let me know how I can help.

David
