Get feedback from those who know you best – at work, at home, anywhere.

• The true measure of your brand is the reputation others hold of you in their hearts and minds.

– Notice how they introduce you to others. Ask them what your top brand attributes and core strengths are.

– How does your self-assessment match with their feedback?

Personal Branding: Leverage who you are

Page 9: Exploring The Visual Resume Ffld Library April 2012

What are your values and passions?

• Your belief system and operating principles are at the core of determining whether an opportunity in front of you will be a good fit for you.

– If the passions that drive you aren’t met, you probably won’t be happy.

Personal Branding: Be authentic

Who is your target audience?

• Determine where you want to fit in (industry and niche area of expertise).

– Learn what decision makers in that field are looking for when they’re vetting candidates.

– Find out where those decision makers hang out and what keywords will attract them, and then position yourself in front of them to capture their attention.

Who is your competition in the marketplace and what differentiates you from them?

• Determine why decision makers should choose whatever you’re offering over the others offering similar value.

– What value will you bring that no one else will?

Personal Branding: Differentiate yourself

4. Don’t Be Afraid to Be Creative

– If you’re opting for a video resume, then go the all the way and make it spectacular.

– Be creative, whether that’s with the concept of your pitch, use of humor, clever production values or brilliant editing.

5. Make Sure It Passes the Share Test – As with all online life, don’t put content out

there that you wouldn’t be prepared to see go viral.

– It’s unlikely your video resume will become an overnight Internet sensation, but imagining that scenario is a good test to make sure you could cope if it did.
