Personal Branding

What is it?

How does it work?

What's your personal brand?

You might want to get an idea because here's an FYI- it does matter. When a future employer might Google you- What will they find? Will it help you get a job, or will it prevent you from getting it?

Some positive ways of getting your personal brand out there are through...

• Blogging: You have tons of sites that you can start a blog through. Some of my favorite bloggers out there are just like you and me, young, up and coming professionals.

• Linkedin: This is a perfect professional site that can allow future media professionals to network with current media professionals, because lets face it- these days it's not about what you know, it's about who you know.

• Facebook: This social networking site is a little risky- it can come back to bite you if your not careful. I have heard my fair share of horror stories about Facebook wrecking individuals chances at their dream job. So my advice is to just keep it clean- imagine if your mom or grandma were looking at it, would they approve?

• Create your own website: Can you imagine what this would do for your personal brand! You can have complete control over who you are, what you about and how you want people to see you!

So, how are you going to make yourself known?
