Rod Colon

Hello. My name is Rod Colón. I am the Founder and CEO of the Rod Colon Network. I teach people how to take control of their careers in the same way a Chief Executive Officer directs all critical operations of a large corporation.

The key difference can be traced back to something that happened to me in the 1990s when I worked as an executive recruiter and hiring manager at J. P. Morgan.

The position gave me an unobstructed, 20/20 view of both sides of the interviewer’s desk. I learned a great deal about the mistakes made by candidates applying for jobs as well as the techniques and strategies used by hiring managers to screen those very same candidates.

I knew what hiring managers were looking for — the best talent for the companies they represented. After all, everyone knew these managers earned their salaries by correctly and consistently choosing the best talent to meet the needs of their employers.

It’s easy to see why hiring managers continue to live by these same stringent standards. In today’s high-pressure business environment, these individuals still have the strongest leverage in the entire job search process — and they use it!

I wanted to find a way for job seekers like you to reduce that leverage by applying some leverage of your own. I concluded that you needed to grasp, master and integrate four critical skills:

1. Exceptionally effective networking

2. Thinking and acting like the CEO of a large corporation

3. Developing a bulletproof value proposition to make you as attractive as possible to decision-makers, and

4. Expertise at following a precisely-targeted 7-step job search methodology that leads you directly to an interview.

In order to do this, I realized it would be necessary to set up a highly specialized networking and career management training organization.

But please be careful: Contrary to what you may hear elsewhere, there is absolutely no free ride to your next position. Although Internet job boards may be useful for gathering information, that’s where their practical value ends.

To really make progress, you need a team that’s already been on the journey you’re taking now, a willingness to commit to some very hard work, and the mental toughness to see the program through to completion.

I hope you will join us.
