It was just reported that 8 in 10 Americans are stressed out about money. The nation is plagued with sleepless nights and couples and families at the brink of bankruptcy. But good news stories are surfacing.
After you read this CNN story Your health and economic stress read this letter from my friend Malcolm, a Job coach who believes that “The more people we get back to work in the country, the faster this economy will turn around.”
So I am reprinting his email in its entirety, particularly given the news that more people are seeing therapists because of money than because of sex issues these days.
And if you can’t get to his event, take a look at what his website has to offer. Thanks, Malcolm / R
Greetings:
I usually don’t send a mass email like this but I wanted to leverage the power of my network to promote a very important event next Saturday, March 28, 2009 in Germantown, MD (my hometown).
I’m doing my no-cost Job Hunt Boot Camp at Seneca Valley High School which is an important event for people who need help finding a job. Now I know you may not live anywhere close to Germantown, but if you know someone anywhere in the DC/Metro area who is struggling to find work, please pass this email invitation along to them!
The event is being held at Seneca Valley High School from 9AM to 12 PM. In this 3 hours, you (or your friend who you send this to) will get everything needed to become more adept at finding a job in this tough economy. Specifically, I’ll be talking about how to:
- Identify your own unique talents, natural abilities, and skill sets
- Develop realistic but exciting career goals
- Discover your stress levels and learn strategies to leverage them
- Find the NUMBER ONE source of great jobs (hint: it’s NOT Monster.com)
- Craft a winning resume and cover letter
- Identify key steps in preparing for a job interview
- Answer the most important question an interviewer will ask
- Effectively evaluate multiple job offers and negotiate a great salary
- Maximize all the Web 2.0 technologies in your search including LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter
To register or contact Malcolm: http://www.jobhuntbootcamp.com or coach [at] emailthecoach [dot] com or www.careerfitnesscoach.com
Malcolm’s motto is ‘Helping people and organizations reach and perform at their full potential!’
