MARKETING MYSELF – ALEX PURDY


For myself as product to be made available to potential employers, I would do the following:
Product
I would produce a resume emphasizing the following:
  • My work history which includes summer jobs with a public affairs tent rental company – Promania Tent Rentals. I reported to the owner and rose to be a team leader and his longest employed worker.
  • Similar descriptions of other employments.
Place
I would examine all possible locations where I think I might get employed.
I intend to apply for US Navy OCS, Newport, RI
Promotion
  • I would describe how demanding and physical the work has been and especially my leadership skills.
  • I will research and carefully prepare for Navy tests and attempt to get accepted into Navy Aviation.
  • I would give careful description of my positive character traits, my personal integrity, my strong work ethic and ability to cooperate with others and clients.
  • I would describe my experience on sports teams and my competitive spirit.
  • I would obtain letters of recommendation from employers/supervisors.
  • Produce a top quality resume seeking assistance from experienced family members: parents and a grand father who has been a US Navy Captain and Commander of Intelligence Units and then a Management Consultant.
  • Prepare cover letters suited to each potential employer.
  • Prepare for personal interviews and role play with an experienced person.
Price
  • I will research salary ranges of jobs I will try for.
  • Do estimates of my income needs in various locations.
  • Be prepared to respond to questions about income requirements.
Are all of the four P’s equally important or is one more than the others?
