Branding Yourself

I learned a very important tip @PRSSA National conference in November, and that is to know who you are. You can’t be confident in what you do unless you know who you are and where you have been. Confidence is a vital necessity on your resume, in interviews and in person as it aids in landing that first job. Going into the marketing and public relations field you need to know how to sell yourself.

As I listened to the keynote speaker, Mona Pasquil, she mentioned that you need to know your story and know what defines you as a person. Asking yourself questions such as, “where do you want to be in x years? What do you want to give back? And what do you stand for?” help in aiding oneself to figure out who they are and what their stories are. Other questions such as “what do you represent?” would be good to ask yourself. You need to know where you have gone to know where you want to go. Don’t ever sell yourself short. Be confident and sell yourself because you are your own personal brand.
