About this title

About the Author:

Diane Huth is a brand marketing expert, a university professor of marketing, and an Accidental Career Coach. She is a 30+ year veteran marketing superstar, and has held top-level marketing slots at a wide range of household-name companies including Johnson & Johnson, Frito-Lay, Carnation/Nestlé, CBS Cable, and Mission Foods. Those corporate roles switched to entrepreneurial positions with start-up companies, where she has helped launch and run small firms struggling to make payroll while launching innovative products and services. During this time, she has interviewed hundreds of job candidates, hired dozens more, and mentored more than 30 student interns. In her "day job" she is the Chief Marketing Officer of Biovideo, a young company which is pioneering maternity videography. For the past 10 years, she has been a Senior Ideation Consultant for Prodigy Works, a leading innovation consulting firm which provides breakthrough new concepts for Fortune 500 companies. And her "night job" is teaching Marketing and Branding at Texas A&M University and at University of the Incarnate Word, both in San Antonio Texas. Diane was stunned to learn how unprepared college students were for their upcoming job search. These students had just spent 4 years of their young lives, and often $100,000 or more on college tuition, and they had no idea how to find a job when they graduated. So based on her own vast experience, she wrote BRAND YOU! To Land Your Dream Job to teach her students - and you - how to use brand-building tools and tactics to find and land your dream job. Based on requests from her readers, Diane is now writing several new books, starting with a job search book for baby boomers called Re-BRAND YOU to Re-INVENT Your Career. She is also working on a book targeting veterans to help them re-enter the civilian workforce. Key an eye out for a series of 7 shorter e-books each focusing on one of the 7 key phases of your job search. These books are also available in Spanish, which Diane speaks fluently due to her many years working and living overseas.
