10 years ago, if you asked me about creating/optimizing websites or marketing, I would have responded with something like “Forget that. What do I look like, a nerd?” 

Fast-forward 10 years and guess what? I’m a nerd (a successful nerd, might I add).

The words résumé, interviews, networking, and cover letter had me nervous, discombobulated and walking around with sweaty palms.  These are the feelings I had as a graduate student embarking upon a career change.  I thought the whole, “finding a new job” thing was frustrating and nearly impossible to achieve.  However, I have discovered six simple steps to pursue an Inbound Marketing Dream Job!!  You need to Network-Network-Network, Have Face-to-Face Informational Interviews, Send Thank You Emails, Be willing to Volunteer or Intern, Attend Inbound Conferences, and Sharpen Your Skills.
