Pile and Company hosted it's first ever networking event for marketing folks out there in the job market. We figured it would attract 20-30 folks. Ended up we had over 70! Being the first event we have hosted we only set a couple goals for ourselves:
1. Have 30 people show up
2. Make sure it was well executed
We assumed if we could do that the rest would take care of itself, and so it did. There was an amazing level of energy, talent and even more importantly the positive attitudes that everyone brought with them. I was so impressed with how everyone wanted to help each other.
Throughout my recent blog posts I've focused on tactics for your job search, on Wednesday I was reminded about the fundamental necessity of a job search: A Positive Attitude. It seems so simple, not always easy but absolutely required.
It feels like the job market is starting to loosen up, more opportunities are popping up, but the competition remains very stiff. The level of talent available is amazing. So do all the things you do to separate yourself from the competition but don't forget to start with that positive attitude.
Enjoy the Memorial Day Weekend!
