Now that you are a big boy or girl you should be noticing a lot of changes in yourself and your peers. I'm sure you have seen profiles pictures on the Internet from that person who seems to be having too much "fun". I am sure that we can all agree that we do not want potential employers to get the wrong impression of our personal brand, so here are some simple ways to avoid this situation.
• Keep all social media clean – this means no incriminating photos, videos, or any other kind of posts that you would not want your mother to see.
• Stay on top of your rank – make sure to use search engine optimization techniques to ensure employers can find you easily. This can also be done by use of passports, which are essentially multiple social media accounts, if you have many sites where you have uploaded content then recognition of your personal brand will be increased.
• Be creative – if you add new and interesting content on a regular basis, then Google will crawl your site more often.
• Stay social – it is called social media for a reason, more interaction can open many doors for you, so leave comments on blog posts, and even ask questions from time to time.
• Traditional personal branding – most importantly brush up on your face to face techniques, get some business cars, spruce up your image with some professional attire, be well groomed, and work on your body language.
If you use at least three of these tips you can be guaranteed to build some equity on your personal brand, and you might just score that job interview after all.
