I'd like to get something off my chest... I cannot stand the 1990s style career expos or similar events. With much effort and engery, marketing and promotion, time and resources, that often falls flat. Picture a banner and trestle, maybe with a plain or branded tablecloth, 1-2 people mostly with heads down and on their phones sitting behind the table, brochures splayed, lollies in the bowl. Brochures may get picked up but often go in the bin, lollies get raided, and it is usually not a nice environment to have a conversation, to truly find out people's interests and needs. If you are going to organise something like this then couldn't you make it mandatory that exhibitors have an activity or mini appointments, perhaps a way to try out tasks within careers and jobs, get out from behind the table with an immersion or different environment set up, a cool attractor or demo. Make it fun, engaging and interactive, way shorter in terms of time and less costly, or an alternative event with more of a networking approach so connections can truly be made, call it something like a Jobs Fair, Hiring Hall, Creative Expo or Career Connect Fest. Feel free to try it out and over to you. PS. For some ideas, you might like to watch these videos from events this year: https://lnkd.in/enF7MSku

The Rule of 72 I still remember the interview I had for an opportunity in the financial services industry. There I was, 29 years old, with a college business degree thinking I was educated about money. Then, the gentleman who was doing the interview showed me the Rule of 72 and my entire world changed. I was blown away that there was knowledge that was REALLY important that I did not learn in college. So it is with the information, knowledge and concepts I share with those who are chosen to be part of the Elite Business Success Group training. (see the l*nk bee low) Each module will rock your world and helps you take your entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial success to a much higher level! And, I promise, you did NOT learn what you will learn there in a University education. Everyone who is interested is not chosen, but if you want to set up a qualifying interview, PM me. #FreakingBrilliant #Creativity #Innovation #Success **Btw, if you want an explanation of the Rule of 72, reach out to my friend Chris Felton (pictured) who is a financial services industry professional.**
