Volunteer your remarketable gifts and become more marketable!

Volunteer and Market Yourself…Remarkably

“Remarkable Marketable Me” helps you share your remarkable gifts volunteering, making you more marketable along the way.



By Jean Robb

I didn’t have the best childhood. We didn’t have much, so if you needed something you had to find a way to get it. I started working at 11 years old selling candy door to door. I know very scary right, but at 11 years old all I knew was I had to sell a certain amount of candy before I could go home. When I knocked on a door, out came my foot and I didn’t move it until you bought a box of candy. The skills I learned from my difficult childhood, (my lemons) really became a blessing (my lemonade).

I learned at a really young age that persistence will open many doors. As an adult I have walked out on a stage with a tiger after Zig Ziglar and talked to over 2,000 people about overcoming their fears. I know you must be thinking…a tiger? I have volunteered for over 15 years with big cat sanctuaries and have learned you can do something you really love while helping others in remarkable ways. In today’s economy you hear lots of people say they can’t find a job. So what happens?

The longer you’re out of work, you start to lose your contacts. You’re not keeping up with the day-to-day changes in your trade. You’re simply out of the loop. The longer you’re in this position the more the fear sets in. What if I can’t find a job? I have so much to offer, how do I get someone to talk to me? Well as you can see, fear can really take a hold of you, it makes you feel like a deer in the headlights. How do you overcome these things?

First off, STOP listening to the FEAR and STOP making EXCUSES. Look, I’ve made many of the same excuses when I’ve let fear be a part of my life. I now realize that the answer to overcoming the fear is to replace it with remarkable things you can be proud of. Instead of asking why would anyone want to hire me, ask yourself why not me?

After volunteering you could say. Look at the change I’ve made in the lives of others. Look what I’ve learned along the way. Look at the skills I’ve been taught while helping others. Look at the great people I’ve met. They’ve seen first hand the type of passion I put into any job I take on. So how will this work? I have made a commitment to bring you a volunteering opportunity at least once a week. The process of volunteering can be more complicated than people may think.

Email me your news. I have included in each story all the information I received and the direct contacts to make it really easy for you to get your foot in the door. “Network, Network, Network” See how you can use that experience to build your resume. Most of all how did you feel about helping others today.

My goal is to get you to share with all of us your experience. Think about how much we can learn from each other. Please email me your pictures and story to remarkablemarketableme@gmail.com so I can post them each day. I will add the trademarks, video and links for you.

Don't be scared! This is a great way to help out the North Texas Food bank. Just bring some canned food or donate at least $5.00 and walk with the Zombies.

Brief FAQ:

 Is ZWD associated with previous Zombie Walks in Dallas?
NO. We are just two people that wanted to make an AWESOME Zombie Crawl. Is ZWD only two hours long?
Absolutely NOT!! This is DEEP ELLUM people, Zombies can stay downtown and hang out as long as they please. There are art galleries, restaurants, bars, HAUNTED HOUSES and plenty of music venues. It will still be Deep Ellum...just "deader".

Can I bring my kids to ZWD?
Does a bear sh*t in the woods? Of course you can! As long as everyone is respectful of each other there is no reason why little Zombie kiddo's can't enjoy the fun.

*****WHAT IS THE ROUTE FOR ZOMBIE WALK????*****
(Special Attention photographers!!)
If you PLAN ON TAKING THE DART -which is highly recommended- exit at COMMERCE and GOOD LATIMER!!! Zombies can then proceed to crawl toward Deep Ellum!! There is no "route". We are not paraders, We are Zombies. Feel free to shamble around anywhere you wish!

-FOR ALL THOSE PLANNING ON FILMING, ALL OF THESE ZOMBIES SPILLING OUT OF THE TRAINS COULD BE ONE OF THE BEST SHOTS OF THE DAY, DON'T MISS IT!-


-IF YOU INTEND ON DRIVING YOURSELF PARK WHEREVER YOU WANT/CAN!!

OUR MISSION:

The North Texas Food Bank passionately pursues a hunger-free community.

WHAT WE DO:

The North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) is a nonprofit hunger relief organization that distributes donated, purchased and prepared foods through a network of 1,146 feeding programs in 13 North Texas counties. The NTFB supports the nutritional needs of children, families and seniors through education, advocacy and strategic partnerships. Close the Gap is the NTFB’s 3-year initiative to unite the community to narrow the food gap by providing access to 50 million meals annually by 2011.
Founded in 1982, the NTFB is a member of Feeding America (feedingamerica.org). *Last year, the NTFB provided access to 37 million meals through its efforts. Each month agency pantries distribute food to more than 53,000 families and on-site meal programs serve 435,000 meals/snacks.
Every dollar donated to the NTFB provides four meals for the hungry. Out of every dollar donated, 94 cents goes directly to hunger relief programs.
