Through the generosity of my friend, career guru, and founder of Exaqueo, Susan Strayer, I’m running my very first contest on this blog. Susan is speaking about the importance of having a strong personal brand at Mediabistro’s Career Circus on August 4th at 92YTribeca NYC. As a speaker, she has two free guest passes to give away and kindly offered them up to readers of Christa in New York. Each ticket would normally cost $145 and I’m so grateful to Susan for her offer!
Why you should enter this contest and go to Career Circus:
1.) Along with Susan’s stellar talk, you’ll have the opportunity to hear from a variety of career experts giving you guidance, new tools, peer support, and techniques for managing your career. This is advice and guidance we all need in this changing economy?
2.) In this economy, we use all of the good personal PR we can get and I want to help you out. So, if you win the drawing for one of the two passes, I’ll feature you in a post on this blog highlighting your professional expertise and what you bring to the table at any employers that is lucky enough to work with you.
How to win one of the two passes:
- Leave a comment on this post with your email address or Twitter handle, as well as any commentary on what you hope to learn at the Mediabistro Career Circus if you win one of the tickets.
OR
-Share this post via twitter and make sure your tweet includes “” so I can track the retweet
When the winners will be announced:
I’ll choose two winners on Wednesday evening and announce them in Thursday’s post. I’ll also notify the winners via email and Twitter, and follow-up with them after the event to ask a few questions that will go into their feature post on this blog.
Good luck and I can’t wait to hear from you!
Hope you take the time to enter–the event is sure to be a great one including a “Behind the Scenes” session on recruiting at Facebook. You won’t want to miss this great agenda: http://www.mediabistro.com/careercircus/program.asp

This sounds like such a PERFECT event ! Wish I could participate in winning these tickets, but I’m off to Tanzania for 3 weeks this wednesday, Christa!
Hi Nikita! TANZANIA. HOW EXCITING!!!! You must let me know how it goes when you return. Bon voyage and travel safely (but boldly!)
I went to the Media Circus last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely stay after for the networking. Not many people did, so there was plenty of opportunity to speak with organizers and the speakers from later in the day. ps – Don’t put me in the running for the contest. I won’t be able to make it
Thanks, Sara! I’m so glad you enjoyed it last year. How goes everything out west?
