Think of yourself as a Brand Think of yourself as a brand in regards to any and everything you do during your job search. Its a good idea to write down 3 public personalities and 3 brands that you like. List the things you like about all of them. This will give you a good start to what a great brand is. Now quickly jot down what your brand can bring to the table. List accomplishments and experiences and what value you can bring to any company or organization you may join. Now that you have all this information, condense it into a short 1 or 2 sentenceexecutive brand summary; work on this until you get it right. Ask people who know you well to help you fashion it. When done this will be your go-to when prospective employees ask you about yourself in a short summary! Remember you are a brand like Tony Robbins or a Mercedes Benz. You must reflect total and ultimate value for your audience/end user! Position yourself properly Building upon your brand you need to position yourself in the market place.
