One Candidates Idea On How To Set Yourself Apart for A Job Interview -- (I Had Planned to Stand Out ✈️)

…and I had planned to send this to stand out!

I had an interview with 31000ft Agency ✈️ last week, that went well — and I want to showcase to them my creativity and to stand out as a prospect. This is what I would like to send to them; to amplify my interest in the agency and aspirations of securing a second-round interview. (I did draw this)

  • Doing too much?

  • Doing enough — you need to stand out!

  • Cool idea, Sab!

  • Wait until you get the second interview, Sab!

It’s a strategist role. I’m a right-brain person — I enjoy being creative. It’s an agency, that’s why I thought storyboard. Also, if you’re a creative you understand the storyboard nod.

I reached out to a creative friend of mine to get their thoughts — when I shared with him the agency, he shared his word-of-mouth thoughts on the agency. Phew… the power of word of mouth.

Let me know your thoughts!

UPDATE: I did not get the role — they deduced that after interviewing multiple people — they were looking for something specific from everyone :-/ — with no clear… nevermind.

Volunteering Weekend -- (Drinking, Pouring Wine & Leveraging Marketing Skills)i

This past weekend I “volunteered” w/ Eden Hill Vineyard out of Celina, Texas — I was at the Sherman, Texas Stroll on the Square! …and while I am in my job search journey, I never miss an opportunity to hone my marketing aptitude!

I was given less than 24-hours of info notice about the wines that I would need to talk about — heck; less than 5 hours actually to sample, learn the history, nuances, and wine notes! (We’re selling wine!)

I enjoyed the fast pace and patience-testing of this event — we were given a college student volunteer, that I truly enjoyed teaching her lessons about people, wine networking, bottle opening and strategic networking overall @ wine events.

My TIPS I gleaned from volunteering:

  • Passion Talking About Wine (when you have a passion

  • Love for Communications & Marketing

  • Appreciation for Presentation

  • Leader — taking the lead (I am focused on what I want, and I’m not timid about expressing It) — when my volunteer partner commented “Sab, (using the 70’s idiom of… ) “it’s you’re way or nothing at all” no… NO — I have a specific way that I’d like something done, and unless we can collaboratively come up with a better way — I want it done this way. Taking the lead isn’t always meant to be popular. Presentation is important

  • Impressions — meeting new people

Thank you Eden Hill Winery

Outrage Marketing is REAL! (Grammy's H&M, Dove and more!)

Brand’s love a good outrage strategy… why do people often act surprised when it happens?

It’s called the “outrage #marketing” strategy — it is a thing. It’s the act of gaining attention in the most offensive way possible w/ the aim of drawing like-minded people to the brand or business. These brands KNOW exactly what they are doing to elicit this outrage from you. And they are getting exactly what they intended — your attention — your outrage, and free publicity.
