One of the best guides I have come across on how to market yourself is book called “Marketing your Career” by Linda Popky. One of the strengths was it used all of key words involved in marketing services and products among them positioning, differentiation, branding, and value proposition and deftly applied them to the ultimate product in everyone’s mind … you.
Linda was gracious enough to conduct a workshop on the topic while I was the V.P. of Workshops at the Silicon Valley American Marketing Association. (SVAMA)
Periodically, I re-read the book to ensure I am doing the things required to make certain I maximize my chances to having the most successful and lucrative career possible. In many careers including sales and management one often gets occupied in the day to day job requirements which accompany these types of positions.
It is easy to lose course of the overall picture of your desired overall professional destination. Case in point, I neglected reviewing my plan since I started my new position over a year ago. I am overdue for another review of Linda’s Book.
If you need guidance to your professional plan the following link to the website should set you in the right direction. http://www.woodsidebusinesspress.com/
The expense of time and money will be well worth your time if you are thinking about marketing yourself and your career.

Hey, just want to say hi. I'm new here.
You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing
It is never too late to learn.
