With the 4th of July holiday behind us, our July event is quickly approaching! We’ll be back at Lucky Lab on NW Quimby on July 20th starting at 4:30PM. This month we’ll have first-time speaker Randy Wright, a successful marketing professional who has worked with and coached countless professionals, speak about a component that could be missing in your job search or even your professional career: you attitude. You might have the perfect resume and credentials as well as all the right answers to interview questions, but if your attitude isn’t aligned, it could cost you the job or promotion you wanted. Following Randy’s presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to network with dozens of Portland professionals and employers.
As always, our events are free, everyone is welcome, and no RSVP is required.
Please meet Randy and learn why you should attend MindShare this month:
Tell us about yourself:
I’m an Oregonian and have lived here for most of my life. I am a passionate marketing professional with 20 years of success leading big brands and companies helping them achieve their goals. I have always been interested in what inspires people to act, motivates them and how to drive the brand to shorten the gap between non-action and action. I’ve invested years working with companies to help them understand the mindset of the consumer and what drives them. And I love it! I have coached and mentored teams all over the world. Working with people and helping them achieve their goals has been very rewarding for me. I love to see people put into practice what they’ve learned and then step back and see more growth. I’ve worked for large organizations in corporate America as well as small startups and have held titles including North American and Global Marketing Manager to VP of Sales and Marketing.
What will you be covering in your presentation?
The employment landscape is continuing to become more and more difficult to navigate. In fact, sometimes in can be down right daunting. There are folks out there that will help you write a resume and teach you how to write a great cover letter. There are some organizations that will even help you practice interviewing. But there isn’t anyone that I can think of that will give you one of the most important aspects of landing a great new job and that’s all about attitude.
My presentation we will touch on;
1. Why our attitudes become deficient as it relates to being let go from a company.
2. We will then focus on what a solid and healthy attitude in the job search looks like.
3. And then we will follow up with tools that anyone can use in their job search to overcome objections from job search and differentiate yourself to be the standout candidate.
Why should Portland Professionals attend?
If you don’t know you should… The Bureau of Labor and Statistics states that employees will change roles about every 4.2 years. For Millennials that gap is even shorter. That means if you’ve been in your role or with the same company for more than 4 years that you could be in line for a career change and very possibly not by your choice.
What are the top 3 takeaways for attendees?
1. Be aware of your attitude and what and or how you are conveying your persona in your job search.
2. Understand the elements that prevent you from having a great attitude.
3. Know the tools you can use to break free from a less than positive attitude.
