Last week I spoke at two unique events about how to leverage your personal brand, your online presence and online networking. From the questions during both Q & A sessions it was very clear most people have only touched the surface of standing out in a crowd. Most don’t know the quick and easy ways to stand out. Some people shared nothing, yet many shared they don’t leverage their LinkedIn profile, résumé and business card. Some were surprized at how little things make a BIG difference.
So when I read, the post “Presidents’ Day 2012: Who is the most underrated president?” by Jon DeNunzio and the comments on the nominees (you can find on Twitter using the hashtag #underratedpresident or below the post) I thought, WOW – we have 44 people who have served as a U.S. President and the conversation is on the MOST underrated in 75 words or less. Interesting!
Can you state why you are underrated in less than 75 words?
Do you have 75 words or less that help you STAND OUT if you are on a list of 44 people?
Do you know how others view and rate your work over a four or eight year span of time?
Many seeking a new job are underrated, and sadly they underrate themselves. The impact of that is a lower value in the market place and not being noticed.
Are you lowering your value in the market place with your current LinkedIn profile, résumé and business card? Most professionals even if, on the most-praised list of others don’t leverage that praise or marketing power. Many people don’t know how to uncover what others think of them or the value information can provide.
Which list are you on “underrated” or “much-praised” or not on the list for the job past or present? Have you reviewed your brand, LinkedIn profile, résumé or business card?
Who will win the underrated vote and be the subject of the Tuesday guest post on The Fix for Tuesday?
What would happen if you changed your personal marketing?
Could feedback from you network help bring you some clarity around your personal brand and accelerate your search?
Would a few key words or phrases help you to leverage your brand and your value to make a hiring managers list?
