MARKETING YOURSELF

INTRODUCTION

I wrote "Marketing Yourself" about 15 years ago.

I started my career after college and ROTC with 2 years in the Army as a Data Processing Officer in 1961. After the Army I got into sales and sales management with some of the best computer, software and services companies of the time.

I worked my way up the line and made company changes while raising a family with my wife. In the 1970's and 80's I worked for McDonnell Douglas Corporation's MCAUTO computer services division and worked my way up to a Senior Vice President and General Manager position. After 17 years the corporation was in trouble and the older, higher paid employees, including me, started to be eliminated.

McDonnell Douglas, as part of a separation package, paid $25,000 to a leading outplacement company to assist me in finding a new job. A lot of what I learned is in "Marketing Yourself".

I had 2 more jobs when I decided to start my own business. Initially it was a service to assist unemployed job candidates to find a job and then evolved into recruiting. These business operations until this most recent economic setback have been very successful.

The current economic and employment situation is unique during my lifetime.

I want to help. I am sending you "Marketing Yourself" because I hope it help's you. There are no strings, no charge and I wish I could do more.

Best wishes,

Gary Alexander
