CareerCamp International – Helping to Build the Career You Deserve

CareerCamp International in 2012
Thank you for joining us for CareerCamp in the past. We hope your career is thriving and we greatly appreciate your interest and support!

The New Year

2012 is shaping up to be a big year for CareerCamp. We now have 3 annual CareerCamps on the schedule for 2012. These include our original CareerCamp — CareerCampLA– CareerCampSCV (Santa Clarita Valley) and CareerCampSFV (San Fernando Valley)

CareerCamp organizers are working hard to spread the CareerCamp message around the world. CareerCamps are in the planning process in Virginia and we are also examining the possibility of a CareerCamp for Veterans and other niche-based events.

Organize a CareerCamp

If you would like to host a CareerCamp in your area, we are developing a handbook to assist you in planning, approaching sponsors, and facilitating the conversation on the day of your event.  Visit the CareerCamp International web site for more information.

Tentative CareerCamp Dates for 2012

CareerCampLA – April 2012
CareerCampSCV (Santa Clarita Valley) – Saturday, July 14, 2012
CareerCampSFV (San Fernando Valley) – October 2012

More information will be available as we get closer to these tentative dates. We will also announce newly organized CareerCamps on this mailing list and via the CareerCamp International blog as they are scheduled.

All the CareerCamp organizers look forward to seeing you at a CareerCamp in 2012. Please invite your friends, family and co-workers to join you in “Building the Career You Deserve.”

Please spread the word about CareerCamp by forwarding this email and directing others to the web sites linked above for more information.

Founder, CareerCamp International

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT CAREERCAMP?

“I learned more how to refine my resume, my cover letter — more about what recruiters are looking for — to help me be recognized more in the job market. This was the greatest experience. It was amazing!” – Kellie H.

“I had a great time today. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot. Somebody mentioned that one of the goals here today was to motivate you to get out there and I think they definitely succeeded. I feel real confident and I am really happy I came today.” – Justin B.

“I think the concept of this event was phenomenal. I have attended conferences and workshops and entrepreneurial sessions and I would say, by far, this was probably one of the best I have ever attended.” – Donna J.

“Being out of work seems to be part of modern life that we are experiencing. What I heard today form several people being outside of ourselves helps us to see the positive side of living. When we help others, we are actually, in the end, helping ourselves. The energy that I have witnessed today convinces me that there is greatness in the group of people who came her to learn the tools to overcome.” – Dick C.

Douglas is coming to Cleveland, Ohio on May 11, 2011

May 5th, 2011 No comments

Cleveland

I am going to be in Cleveland, Ohio (and my hometown of New London) from Wed, May 11, 2011 to Sunday, May 15, 2011 to kick off Saturday6,  a new, garden blog project with Troy-Bilt. As I am arriving a day early, I will be available for various meetups and consulting sessions based on all my areas of interest.

If you would like a private consult on your career questions, email me at me@douglasewelch.com to schedule a time. These consults are billed at my usual rate of $100/hour and would most likely take place near downtown Cleveland, as that is where I will be staying.

I am also open for an informal meetup on Wednesday afternoon or evening, if folks are interested. We can set up an event on Facebook or other service to allow for RSVPs.

I look forward to seeing you all and spending some time in my hometown again.

Event: October 18: Jennifer “Jungle Jenny” Michaels at Tuesdays with Transitioners

October 6th, 2010 No comments

October 18: Jennifer “Jungle Jenny” Michaels will be our guest speaker at Tuesdays with Transitioners!

“Jungle Jenny” is Jennifer J. Michaels alter ego.  Jenny is a passionate conservationist whose goal is to protect and preserve the planet, all animals, their habitats/ ecosystems and biodiversity.  Jungle Jenny has traveled around the globe in order to see these wonderful wild creatures and capture a photograph of them in their natural habitat/ ecosystems.

Toward that end, she has created Jungle Jenny TV to encourage everyone to recognize, accept and develop their relationship with nature.

Jenny has translated her passion into a marketeable brand, and she wants to show you how to do the same. Whether it is a 9 to 5 brick-and-mortar job, or an entrepreneurial opportunity, Jenny will give you tools on how to present your best self, and how to get others to take notice.
