Personal Branding: How Soon Should You Start Thinking About It?

 

employability



If you could describe yourself in one world, what would it be?

Now are you...

Type 1: Wondering which word you are because you have no clue? Or

Type 2: Have too many words in hand that you don’t know which to place first? 

If you are type 1, then it’s time to evaluate and find that word, if not ask the opinions of courageous people who dare to tell you the truth. You’ll be surprised to learn what you are perceived as by another. See if you can re
sonate with that and decide if you want to own it, if not, continue to grow and discover it by keeping this question at the back of your head.

If you are type 2, then find the common factor between those words. You’re probably holding on to many but they are synonyms to one. But if they are vastly different, find your dominant trait. We all have 1, even as an ambidextrous, my right hand is more dominant than my left.

That one word is your focus, your dominance, your story, your brand. If how you see yourself is what you expect others to see you as, as well - your forte, then that is your brand, the reputation you hold strongly which is entwined firmly to your name. It’s also what you want to be known and remembered for, your legacy.

The first name that comes to mind when a need/expectation arises. The first person someone goes to for a particular need. Now why is that even important? Well generally it’s not, especially if you’re a hermit and would rather be left alone and forgotten. But in a demanding and challenging employment market, it is totally important. You want to stand out, no, you need to stand out, so you do not end up being left behind, professionally.

And how do you do that, especially if you’re a fresh grad or an old grad who is struggling to be noticed? Watch this to know how.
