Do you recruit millennials? If you are a recruiter and said “no,” don’t kid yourself. You soon will be. Why do I say that? Millennials will be roughly 50% of the USA workforce in 2020 and 75% of the global workforce by 2030. That being said, do you know who they are? How they think? How likely they are to stay with your company once hired? A megashift is already underway in the workplace and you need to be ready for it. If you are not (as many organizations are not), then I HIGHLY suggest you pick up “Promote Yourself: The New Rules of Career Success” by Dan Schawbel.

Promote Yourself is the definitive book on how to build an outstanding career.

I’ve heard Dan speak on the topic of Millennials in the workplace at the 2013 National SHRM Conference earlier this year and walked away feeling informed. Below are a few soundbites from his speech then.

Below is information about his new book – “Promote Yourself: The New Rules for Career Success.”

Now with the Internet, social media, and the unrelenting hum of 24/7 business, the ability to brand and promote yourself effectively has become absolutely essential.
