<p>We are launching the Bold <span class="caps">DNA </span>series of strategic career management reports. The reports will include hands-on tools, skill building exercises and strategic content. The first, <div style="font-size: 120%;"><strong>How to Manage Your Career in Scary Times</strong></div> is now ready for you to benefit from and I would like to offer it as a gift to you. </p>

<p>All you need to do is sign-up to the Bold Career community and mailing list and the download will be waiting for you. The Report includes 20-pages of thought provoking content on:</p>

<ul>
<li>Managing career / job security risk in uncertain economic times</li>
<li>Enhancing career opportunity</li>
</ul>

<p>As well as worksheets that lead you through a personal <span class="caps">SWOT </span>analysis of your career situation.</p>

<p><span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><a href="http://boldcareer.com/join"><img src="http://www.boldcareer.com/storage/91P2ro_200.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1229984548276" alt=""/></a></span></span>I would very much like to have you read it and perhaps take action on some of the Action Ideas and Homework questions presented in the report. </p>

<p>Special Offer: I have made a special offer available only to Report readers. Until January 15, 2009, 15% off any service purchased from Bold Career. That includes full job search / career transition packages, resume writing services, interview coaching, and general career coaching packages. In today&#8217;s market, 15% is something to think about. (And you can elect to use your purchase service anytime in 2009, so no rush if you aren&#8217;t quite ready.) Again, January 15th is the deadline to take advantage of this offer. </p>

<p>So, please <a href="http://www.boldcareer.com/join/">join</a> me to download <a href="http://www.boldcareer.com/join/">How to Manage Your Career in Scary Times</a>. </p>
