Career Jump-Start met on Tuesday, 05 February 2013 at First United Methodist Church in Richardson, Texas. David Badger led this session attended by 20 people.
Jon Stotts of List of Leads spoke to this group. Brand yourself or you are destined to wear somebody else’s brand. Cattle rustlers rebrand cattle to make them their own. The only way to prove cattle were rebranded is to examine the inside of the hide.
Jon Stotts will return to Career Jump-Start probably in September to speak about networking with LinkedIn contacts.
Four people won tickets to a Chili Lunch by United Methodist Women through a drawing before the group adjourned. The Chili Lunch will be on Sunday, 17 February 2013 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM in the Bartula Family Life Center of First United Methodist Church Richardson.

- Handshakes convey a brand: limp fish, evangelist, etc.
- How you dress conveys a brand.
- Corporations do not care about you; you are a number to them.
- People should have their own unique logo.
- Your voice is also a brand because people can recognize you by the sound of your voice.
- Helping others can be a retired person’s brand.
- Equestrian vaulting is acrobatics done on horseback.
- Paul Harvey is recognized by his voice after he speaks one or two words.
- Dress/Sport coat pocket square (folded handkerchief) is a brand for Jon Stotts. He had a four point pocket square – not the cardboard replica that dry cleaners supply.
- People should have their own domain name. You can get a domain name with email address for $15 per year. Having your own domain name can make you standout. Jon Stotts got his domain name from Go Daddy.
- Hot Mail, AOL, and a few others are near the bottom of the list in terms of current desirability.
- LinkedIn is profession and business oriented.
- If you have a personal logo, place a small unobtrusive logo at bottom of your resume.
