Greetings NRWA New Business Owner members!

The year is flying by, and the next quarterly call for New Business Owner members is coming up on Thursday, October 28, 2021, at 1:30 PM ET!

TOPIC: Creating a Website Without Breaking the Bank

If you’re a business owner, your website is one of the first channels by which clients interact with you. You do not have to be a web developer to have one that sells your brand. Come ready to discover some options. Whether you need a shiny new website or just want to switch yours up, we hope you’ll join us.

Interested? Click here to register today. See you on October 28th!

EXPERIENCED BUSINESS OWNERS (EBO) QUARTERLY CALL
Friday, October 29, 2021 | 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM, ET

TOPIC: Addressing Resume Gaps

Dawn Rasmussen & Tom Powner, your Directors of Member Support, will be holding an open conversation on Addressing/Owning Resume Gaps. This is not a presentation, but a collaboration/discussion around this topic; we use GoToWebinar as a tool to keep the conversation on target.

Join us; when we put our minds together and share our ideas, we become stronger as an industry.

We all have those songs that bring us back to a moment in time. Other songs inspire or energize us.

To end the year on a high note (pun intended), the NRWA 4th Quarter Contest combines music and personal branding.

The “Personal Brand Song” contest will run now through December 31, 2021. As always, all entries win bragging rights, and the best submission wins a $25 Amazon gift card.

The contest guidelines are simple. Tell us what song represents your personal brand.

Provide the name of the song and artist and explain why you chose this song. Is it the words, the music, or what the song reminds you of or represents? One submission per member. Please choose a song that will be at least somewhat familiar and limit your “why” to 250 words.

Click here for more details and submit your entry in the final contest for 2021!

Let’s get innovative!
LinkedIn calls the profile headline a HEADLINE for a reason. It’s meant to help the LinkedIn member sell themselves to viewers. But most people’s headlines are ineffective. That’s where we come in. Clients turn to us to write compelling profiles which includes creating a Headline that sells them to recruiters and employers.

Time to have some fun with that!
The NRWA is running a “Headline Makeover” contest now through September 30, 2021 - DEADLINE EXTENDED to October 7, 2021. The contest guidelines are simple—submit a Before and After version of your Headline Makeover. As always, all entries win bragging rights, and the best Headline Makeover wins a $25 Amazon gift card.
