Paul Carney/Author 
Move Your AE

I help you take command of your career by showing you how to document and promote your full career value.

The “Æ” (pronounced “ash”) is the symbol that now represents the sum of your skills, talents, education, experiences, credentials and so much more about you. It represents your entire career value, not just a set of skills.

To get ahead in your job, or to get another job, you need to Know, Grow, and Show your career value, not just what is on a resume or your LinkedIn profile. Competition is tough out there, and without this knowledge, you will be left behind.

Buy “Move Your Æ (ash)” now on Amazon (paperback or Kindle):

http://bit.ly/MoveYourAshBook

Once you have started reading it (at least through Chapter 7), let’s connect and discuss. You will have a new view on your career at that point.

 

Bri Snellgrove
Marketing Well Played/Social Icon

My passion is business relations and I am what most call a, “marketing nerd.” To grow in any profession you have to READ, RESEARCH and ASK QUESTIONS. Never stop asking questions.

I’ve developed skills in several areas; Marketing, Communications, Branding, Advertising Campaigns, Social Media, Public Relations, Event Management, Project Management, Media Production, Journalism, Graphic Design and more.
