Hey, LinkedIn network!! I am so beyond excited to kick off this semester by showing my appreciation for Insight Global. I wanted to alert all of you that Kendall Fellers and I will be together at the University of Missouri Business Career Fair Thursday March 7th (03/07) from 10 AM - 3 PM CST at the Mizzou Rec Complex! If you are looking/considering sales, I strongly urge you to come up to our booth, as you don't want to miss an opportunity like this. To get you prepared, I wanted to post some information so that you can see if this is a company that aligns with what we are looking for. 1. Strong Work Ethic: If you are someone who is not afraid of a challenge or the idea of pushing yourself, then sales might just be for you. Insight Global is looking to hire people who are always willing to go above and beyond. Since my first day there, at Insight Global, we have prided ourselves on our commitment to excellence and dedication to delivering top-notch service to our clients and candidates. From day one, I've been inspired by the culture of hard work and determination that permeates every aspect of our organization. 2. Endless Growth and Development Opportunities: If you are someone who is always thinking about how you can advance yourself in the long term, then look no further! Something that I love is that Insight Global only promotes from within! Meaning there are so many opportunities to advance your career within this company. Insight Global invests in your development to ensure you are getting the support, training, and advice that you need to thrive. 3. Company Culture: Something that I encourage my entire network to do, is to be immersed in a company that has a great culture. To put this in our very own CEO's words Bert Bean states "Culture is everything. It is the connective tissue that binds us all together within a company. To say it differently, a company’s culture is the summation of habits around the things people value." (Forbes, 2022) These are just a few of the many amazing things that I can say about this company, along with our impact, our philanthropy, our shared values, and the list goes on and on. I am so excited to hopefully see some of my network thrive at such a rewarding company. See you at the career fair, and if you can't make it, please message me if you're interested!

If you’re in college and want to perform well at your first big career fair, here are a few basic pieces of advice: - Look the part. Business casual or professional. Don’t show up in gym shorts. - Bring a padfolio with a note pad and copies of your resume in it. And lastly, some of the greatest advice for standing out I have ever received was in the Sales Program at Kennesaw State. Terry W. Loe, Ph.d. And Brent McCulloch told us to always carry “student contact cards”. At first I thought it was strange. Then every recruiter I handed this card to was blown away. It is simple. Your university logo on the front, and your critical info on the back. The job market is about one thing: How can you separate yourself from the pack? I promise you, nobody is giving out student contact cards in college. Whether or not they like the strategy, I promise they won’t forget it. If you’re interested in having me come speak to your university, or even your small business, reach out to [email protected].

🫣 SNEAK PEAK 🫣 What's being tossed around this summer for the marketing campaign for our annual Fall Career fair? I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback! I’m excited to share a new aspect of my Associate Director role: overseeing our department's marketing side. While I sometimes feel unequipped, I’m thrilled to tackle this challenge head-on. It's a blessing that new challenges bring new growth opportunities! As I brainstormed marketing campaigns for our Fall Career Fair, I realized the immense responsibility of coordinating the event and marketing it effectively to motivate students, faculty, and staff to engage. I asked myself: why do students avoid career fairs? Here are four reasons, among many, I found based on research: 1. Fear 2. Competition 3. Family Connections 4. Time After reflecting on this, the Lord led me to take a more motivational and inspirational approach to our marketing. Here’s why: > Fear: To address students' fears of difficult career-related questions and feeling inadequate, we’ll emphasize our core value "Explore". This will highlight that career fair season is for discovery and learning. > Competition: To combat intimidation and fear of rejection, we’ll share inspirational stories of students who succeeded despite initial fears, as well as equip them with resources and strategies to stand out from other candidates.  > Family Connections: For students relying on family connections but unsure how to leverage them, we’ll provide helpful content on effective networking tips and tricks.  > Time: To counter the belief that there’s plenty of time to prepare, we’ll seek to increase the awareness of the benefits of early career planning. I’ve put together a sample video for our "Dare to Explore" theme, inspired by our core value "Explore." I’d love to hear your thoughts! If you were a college student, would this campaign inspire you to take your professional and career development more seriously? #CareerFair #Marketing #Campaign #DareToExplore #CedarvilleCareerServices #Share #Feedback

Happy birthday Karen Richard MBA! There are few friendships I value more than ours. And on this very special day, I want to share one of the many things that makes you so amazing. As everyone knows, Andersen Corporation has been one of my biggest supporters since the inception of the People Of Color Career Fair™. You personally always do your best to stop by and support your recruiting team, and expand your own networks. But what you did this past year deserves special recognition. You asked me if you could get more involved personally, and dedicate your personal time on weekends and evenings to coach Professionals of Color who are well on their way to big things in the Twin Cities. I asked you how many Professionals, thinking you'd coach two or three, and you told me 60! I almost fell off my chair. I was so excited to know 60 People Of Color Career Fair attendees would get to one-on-one coaching with one of the most respected C-Suite executives in our region. And let me tell you, the Professionals that you met with will never forget it! The feedback I received was tremendous, and the insights you shared nearly impossible to come by unless someone in your position agrees to share. This is what "Leading Out Loud" is always about, and so very often, you're who I point to when other executives ask me what they can do to better expand their diverse talent networks! Karen, this, and so many other reasons are what make you a one of a kind. I hope you have the best birthday ever! #HappyBirthday #CorporateLeadership #BusinessLeader #BirthdayGirl #ProfessionalCoach

"Success is not defined by a single event, but by the continuous effort and resilience you put into your journey. Even if the career fair has passed, remember that every step you take toward your goals is a triumph. Keep the momentum alive and seize every opportunity that comes your way. Your future is shaped by the actions you take today, and each moment is a chance to propel yourself closer to the career of your dreams."🌟📃📝 #rowanproud #rowanuniversity #rohrercollegeofbusiness #rowanalumni #business

🔑 Success is all about preparation and taking proactive steps — both in college and in life. With Clemson University career fair happening right now, it’s a great reminder to always be ready and make the most of every opportunity. Whether it’s networking, polishing your resume, or preparing for interviews, being proactive is key. I’d especially like to thank Emily Watrous, SHRM-SCP, ICF-ACC for her exceptional career coaching and guidance. She has not only helped me update my resume but also taught me how to effectively market my skills and present myself confidently in professional settings. Her Business 4 Impact Coaching is something I highly recommend for those trying to put themselves ahead! Her insights have been extremely valuable in preparing me for my next steps. It’s never too early to start building connections and positioning yourself for the future. Make the most of every resource available — they’re designed to help you grow. The more you invest in yourself now, the more opportunities you’ll create down the road! #CareerFair #Clemson #ProactiveCareer #BePrepared #Networking #CareerSuccess

Last week, I was fortunate enough to attend the National Sales Network (Headquarters) 27th Annual Conference and Career Fair in Houston, Texas. It was an impactful experience. I got to meet and establish relationships with colleagues, chat with members of our leadership team and learn from a host of dynamic speakers like Caroline A. Wanga, Bozoma Saint John as well as industry professionals at Experian, BD and numerous other organizations. I left that experience excited to leverage the insights gained. Here are some of my key take-aways: If you want a promotion, you’ll need to perform well. However, performance is only 10% of the consideration for promotion. Image and Exposure make up the remaining 90%.  It is extremely important to cultivate a positive image, and proactively work to gain exposure to a broad array of the “right” stakeholders. Consider how people perceive you when you enter a space. If reactions are less than favorable, you have some work to do. To be an effective leader, you must influence others and there is no better way to practice than by speaking up and taking an initiative. Take the stretch assignment. Lean into the discomfort, that is where you have the potential to learn the most. Those with growth mindsets embrace challenges, persist through obstacles, learn from criticism, and are inspired by the success of others. Being willing to evolve is essential. When seeking a mentor. Identify someone whose values align with yours, is accessible and that you want a long-standing relationship with.  Be prepared for these meetings and have a clear understanding of YOUR ask. When building brand awareness, intentionality means not being passive in how others perceive you. Being intentional means actively talking to your audience to educate them about who you are while seeking feedback on who they believe you to be. #NSN #TeamAmEx #GrowthMindset
