The Rules of The Job Hunt Have Changed! Did you know the average person now has 17 jobs during the life of their career?  Obviously, Job Hunting is an essential skill that you MUST learn to hone like a fine blade!  Unfortunately finding a course or school that teaches these skills is likely to be a hunt in itself.  In today's job market the folks who get hired are not necessarily the ones who can do the job the best; they are the ones who have perfected their job-hunting technique.  During this presentation, I will teach you how to construct a Digital Resume / Fix Your LinkedIn Profile for maximum results/setup a job-hunting process for success.

You've pitched successfully, your potential publisher is interested, and both sides feel they may have found a match. It's time to have an in-depth conversation about your team, project, and their future potential, in the attempt to achieve mutual understanding and alignment. What could a publisher ask, and care to know? In this talk, I'll focus on a series of topics I investigate when signing new potential development partners for SOEDESCO. In the past five years, I've learned a thing or two about positive signs, as well as signs of risk, to be on the lookout for during our pre-sign deep dive phase, and hope you'll take away some insights into the inner workings of one publisher's approach to pitch assessments.
