Building Your Brand: Preparing to Build Your Resume
A simple question that we’re asked when networking with someone new can also be one of the most challenging questions when defining your professional brand.
"What do you do?"
This could be quite troubling to answer when entering the job market because we tend to focus more on the job title we have or we believe that we want. Never forget, who you are matters more than what you do! You make the impact, not the job description.
Here are two quick tips to consider as you prepare to build your resume.
Learn about yourself beforehand (passions and goals): “The company has no power without YOU!” Therefore it is very important that you focus on understanding your skillsets and potential. This narrows the scope of vision when building a resume that highlights who you are.
