WHY DO THIS? ARE YOU CRUSHING IT WITH A STRONG FIRST IMPRESSION ?
Atlanta Personal Branding expert says a strong LinkedIn profile and resume isn’t an option… its essential.
Since 94% of recruiters and businesspeople go to LinkedIn to discover talent… will they find you, and will you make that vital, strong first impression?
According to DMR Stats Gadgets, 94% of recruiters use LinkedIn to vet job and business candidates.
Another survey by recruiting software company Jobvite, shows 87% of recruiters use LinkedIn as a key part of their recruiting efforts.
This is not FaceBook. This is business.
Why even have a LinkedIn profile, if the reaction you get is…
❓"Oh, sorry…I fell asleep reading your profile."
❓"I didn't really get your capabilities."
❓"I never found your profile." (So this note doesn't exist!")
LinkedIn is the world's biggest business watering hole. Recruiters and contract employers use LinkedIn as their source, then they dig into your resume.
If your personal branding isn't strong, and if it doesn’t differentiate your capabilities… you're losing opportunities … business… connections… and credibility!

All-About-You (TM) consulting, using unique and powerful approach to discern and articulate your best selling points.
To have your audience find you and engage their interest, we execute this personal branding (your "positioning" in the marketplace) via your LinkedIn profile and resume:
-
LinkedIn Profile based on the consulting work, so your can be found, and engage the interest of people who want to hire you. Written produced on lne, with graphics.
-
Resume based on the consulting work, that helps you be found, and get past the electronic applicant tracking systems (ATS).
To get a new job or clients, you must have 3 key business tools
You need to work with 3 business components, which help you get found, gain interest, and get hired:
1) Strong Personal Branding. If your positioning and content isn't spot-on, you're selling yourself short. We use breakthrough consulting. objectivity, and specialized tactics to discover and articulate your best talents, and "position" you for your chosen work —this makes all the difference.
2) Strong LinkedIn Profile — they'll never see your resume unless you flag them with the right content and "findability," so you get short-listed. Your content and personal brand "positioning" — how we talk about you — is vital. And graphics are needed to differentiate your profile quickly. Is yours strong?
3) Strong Resume — This is the foundation of any job search, and most contract work. It's got to coordinate with your LinkedIn profile, and it's got to be properly "scannable" by the client's applicant Tracking System (ATS)… or it will never be seen. Big picture positioning, and the little details all count.

Note: Are you a consultant in the gig economy, and don't have a website? Tap MarketPower and we'll position and build it. You likely could use strong personal brandin gand a website...
…however, based on your interests and needs, we might also suggest a different type of profile that substitutes for a website. (Just ask!)
"They're
Saying…"
Only 2 days into working on our Personal Branding program for a Director-level physician — we got this text message…
A few weeks later, signed up with a higher salary, bonus, perks… He said: "Thank you, I am so fulfilled in my new job."
"
“When I spoke with Joel about being frustrated in my job, he encouraged me to “reinvent” myself and focus on sales in a new way. He said new “personal branding” would significantly change my LinkedIn profile and resume. I resisted for a while, and finally said “let’s go.”
“Two weeks later, based on his work with me, I had an interview with the CEO and CFO of a remarkable new business in my field — they thought my LinkedIn profile was so strong that they didn't even ask for my resume until after the 3rd interview. I got the job, with a significant raise. And I’ve since expanded my career, based on that new direction."

This is the second time I've worked with Joel, and with very strong results, My business has evolved and grown, and Joel has helped me make a strong presentation on LinkedIn. Joel is not one of those "produce just anything" people... he makes sure things are done well, and has a variety of skills, including consulting with smart recommendations, creative design, writing, and coaching. I strongly recommend Joel.

"When I spoke up at the conference table with a key recommendation, they were mostly skeptical, you could see it on their faces. Then my phone lit up! My associates and the executive team were pinging my LinkedIn profile to find out who I was, and if I was credible. And their expressions went from skeptical to "wow!" almost immediately. They became enthusiastic about my recommendation. Guess what, APB just did my profile the week before! This personal branding service produces excellent results, I strongly recommend it!

Long term, this boosts your career.. Short term, you bring in paychecks faster,.
Most "specialists" and outplacement services charge many times more for customized services, often with "academic" exercises which offer little practical help. And often not producing much of a strong Personal Brand.
Inside Secret: Even though our pricing is friendly, you can't even get the specialized consulting skills that bring out your strengths … anywhere else. (They combine knowledge of LinkedIn profiles, we've developed the workshops!… huge brand development experience… and a specialized consulting approach. If you want to know more, just ask.)
Our work for you will help sort out your thinking, make make good choices, help you level up!
Are these APB&C Personal Branding - LinkedIn Profile- Resume programs really "worth it"?
"I got laid off, and was out of work for 5 months. I wasn't getting anywhere, and wanted to do this LinkedIn and Resume work. I researched plans ranging from $500 up to $7500 with an outplacement firm (even one at $12,500) , and even though I understood the basic need,
I was definitely not an "educated buyer." However, even before we had started I could tell right he (Joel) was a good consultant — as good or better than the out placement firms we hire here at (our company). He said a few times, he's "not a 'fill-in-the-blanks' guy," and at 7 months of being out of work, I chose to work with him.
"Joel made me think about my business skills, added a lot of perspective and value, and expressed all this on my LinkedIn & resume, far better than I expected. Then I went back to him for a "client-centric" resume variation, which I submitted.
I got the first interview that lead to my new job in 10 days. My gains included increased responsibilities, salary and benefits, and these materials impacted the negotiations. That was three months ago, and that a very, very good investment!"

If you want to work with us on your Personal or Company Branding on LinkedIn, or want to know more about bringing our workshops to your organization… drop a note.

"I'm an internet marketing consultant — I've been on LinkedIn, for years, knew it was an important thing but simply didn't know how to use it.
Joel showed me things that I never thought about on my profile, how to set it up, how to connect to other people…Joel is a great communicator and marketer.
"I had about 300 LinkedIn connections and really did not understand how to use LinkedIn as a business tool. Today, at 3:28 pm, I got my 1,000th Connection!!
"I can't sufficiently tell you how great this was!
Thank you, Joel. You rock, too!!"

`"I thought I was the LinkedIn Queen, until I worked with the obvious king, Joel Alpert. Definitely picked up some advanced pointers in his workshop that I wouldn't have known otherwise and have already put into practice today. That was money well-invested in my career.”
“But then a year later I went back to Joel and asked him to “do the impossible.” I wanted to get hired as a TV personality on a cable TV program, and had some “unrelated” TV experience hosting a weekly yoga program on WAIB (Atlanta Interfaith Broadcasters). He did my “Personal Branding” for my entire career, holistic health and wellness, and including my special goal of being a TV personality. They found me, and I started working on that TV program 3 weeks after he changed my profile! Joel is amazing!”

This headhunter found our client quickly via the LinkedIn profile/Personal Branding makeover we did.
But the CEO who reviewed her LinkedIn profile interviewed her before he even saw her resume... and hired her!
You absolutely need a good resume. It's one of 2 ways to be found. Most employers ask for it quickly, even if they find you on Linkedin. And your resume must work well for you.
But this headhunter, found my client within a week after we posted the new profile. And immediately identified her as a top candidate.
The CEO interviewed her based solely on her LinkedIn profile. He didn't even ask for a resume until the 3rd interview. She was offered an exceptional, leveled-up new position, and has been crushing it.
Why do this? We don't mess around.
Our consulting and content is critical — it defines direction and provides vital nuance.
And it gets our clients the jobs they want. Faster. At higher pay and benefit. And advances their business or career track.
That's why.
