"All of us need to understand the importance of branding. We are CEOs of our own companies: Me Inc.
To be in business today, our most important job is to be head marketer for the brand called You."
– Tom Peters in Fast Company
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 the positioning and content isn't spot-on, don't bother..
We discover and articulate your best talents, and "position" you for your chosen work —this makes all the difference… and our consulting skillset and objectivity brings this out in breakthrough ways.
This focused consulting and content is used on both your resume and your LinkedIn profile. How's yours?
2) Strong LinkedIn Profile — they'll never see your resume unless you flag them with your LinkedIn Profile. These days. almost all recruiters for full-time and contract work source their candidates via LinkedIn profile.
Your LinkedIn profile needs the right content, laid out so their algorithm can find you, so you get onto a shortlist when people search for your specialities. Your content and personal brand "positioning" — how we talk about you — is vital. And some 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 be strong, and it's got to be "scannable" by the client's applicant Tracking System (ATS)… or it will never be seen..

Note: Are you a consultant in the gig economy, and don't have a website,? We can create a different type of profil that works like a website, customized to your work.
"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.

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.
