Today, branding is no longer just the exclusive concern of companies and celebrities. Professionals are marketing themselves by aligning their strengths and passions with the demands of their industry. Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO advises, “Start out with an honest assessment of yourself. Compare this with how others perceive you. From there, devise your growth plan in alignment with your career goals.”
She shares these essential tips on how to communicate personal branding:
1. Resume- Update your C.V. as needed. Make sure it has a social feature, with key words and phrases that make it searchable.
2. Linked-in profile- This serves as your C.V. online that potential clients and employers can use as reference.
3. Online posts - Few people realize how selective they should be with Facebook posts, tweets, photos, and messages that compromise their branding online. Always consider if what you will post can enhance your personal brand.
4. Etiquette – Conduct yourself with good manners and social graces at all times. Aim to come across as a reliableprofessional and do everything to be one.
5. Wardrobe- Always look your best. Your clothes must speak of your professionalism.
