Personal Branding Applied - find a job with more than a letter and resume

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

On February 3d, I gave a workshop to Honours College students of the University of Groningen. The workshop was part of an evening about entrepreneurial behavior. I focused on awareness about 'why' you have filled your resume with all kinds of things. The 'why' should be the foundation of the story about 'you'. Next, I gave my audience two more exercices trying to stumble upon smart ways to make yourself more visible for employers. The audience discovered themselves that blogging, social networking, and sharing their knowledge and ideas could be a great personal marketing strategy to help them to find smarter ways towards a job.

AMBITION

WHY

Prepare a persuasive 30sec pitch about yourself- Without telling ’what’ you have done in your past - Without mentioning your achievements so far - Just tell us about who you are, and what drives you - So, distinguish yourself not based on your resume, but on your personality and vision
