11. Competitor
The two “broad groups” I have competition with Indeed & Zip
Recruiter both have employers around the globe, having a strong
profile on Linkedin is key for success. The first from Linkedin is
Sahib Gill a University Of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI graduate with a
BS, in statistics. The second is Amy Schuyler a Central Michigan
University in 1994 graduate in General Business and received her
BBA from Eastern Michigan University in 1997. How I compare
to both graduates, maybe I should work on a B.S. in digital
marketing from Full Sail, at the same time Full Sail prepare their
students rather its a A.S. or B.S. degree for today employers
wants. So do I fill intimidated by people with bachelor degrees,
NO why because talent plays a large hand in it also.

rewarded with a price increase
• I’m looking to stay committed to my employer until retirement, may
they fill the same after retaining loyalty customers and gaining new
