A popular catch-phrase associated with the process of finding and acquiring a new job or a new career is “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” I believe it’s a combination of what you know and who you know. If you’re not well-qualified, you probably won’t get the position no matter who you know. But if you’re not well-connected, you can be a proven success and possibly not even be considered for a position since you don’t know the correct people to open the door for that consideration for you. Thus, it’s what you know and who you know. And this is what makes getting listed and involved in a Registry for Business Professionals such as Madison Who’s Who so important for both the qualified job-seeker and the effective corporate recruiter.
As their website says, the Executive and Professionals Registry of Madison Who’s Who “is more than a beautiful leather bound registry of accomplished individuals.” It is a complete online searchable registry of business professionals throughout the world, offering many helpful and powerful online services to its members.
For example, one of the most useful new services that Madison Who’s Who offers is a great Bulletin Board that consists of multiple forums and categories in which members can submit and find new job postings, classified ads, and other networking opportunities. It is a very useful and effective tool for business professionals to find new jobs and for corporate recruiters to find those qualified professionals.
The electronic registry of Madison Who’s Who is an excellent peer to peer network platform that contains business leaders and professionals in almost every industry and specialty. There are many such members from all across the world. It greatly facilitates its members in finding each other, establishing and maintaining business relationships and networks, and ultimately helping each other to achieve business success.
Going through the site I found many professionals in the Featured Members section. You can also view a sample of what the typical Madison Who’s Who professional profile looks like—they contain a lot of helpful and specific information, such as the person’s contact information, their bio, their education, their expertise, their hobbies & interests, etc.
I’m not sure how much a membership to Madison Who’s Who will cost you—couldn’t find out by looking through the website. But they do give the contact information and method for finding out how to become a member and all such necessary details on their New Candidate Registration page.
I recommend you check out Madison Who’s Who Business Professional Registry and see for yourself what the value can be.
I am grateful that you wanted to list me in the Who's Who in Madison, but have been retired for some time now and it's doubtful you would want a retiree listed.
My only wish is that this would have happened 3 years sooner and I would have been so proud to have been listed in your Who's Who!
Thank you for your time and thoughtfulness.
