Lunch and Learn: Using Personal Branding to Land Your Dream Job

Looking for work can be stressful, especially when you don’t know where to start.

Most companies expect a robust work history and a high degree of professionalism from any candidate, and it can be hard to wow a potential boss or client unless you have a solid online reputation to back up your credentials.
Enter personal branding: a series of strategies designed to help showcase the best version of yourself online. This tactic is similar to traditional branding for companies, but instead of focusing on attracting customers, the goal of personal branding is to establish your identity and attract new clients and employers.
Building a strong personal brand is a strategy which delivers long-term results, and can be critical to landing your dream job, finding the perfect client, and establishing yourself as a smart and savvy professional for years to come.
Our Goal:
To help job-seekers use their personal brand to attract new clients and employers.
