Hello PK,
After seeing the Millennial Strategist position, the following question came to mind, “How would a true Millennial Strategist apply for this position?”
In answer to that question I have created a Blog entry seeking comments, YouTube video, Tweet on Twitter, LinkedIn Group, and Facebook group.
While those channels are powerful in getting my message to you (and the world), the real power is in the public’s ability to respond. So in that spirit I invite those who have worked with me to comment on my ability to add value as a Millennial Strategist. I appreciate your feedback.
I think he should get the job, don’t you, PK?
