Last week I had the pleasure of attending the mini seminar on Personal Brand. It was so helpful! I learned great tips on improving my resume, mainly in terms of quantifying the things we have done. I see how important is it to include metrics in you resume because it highlights your ability to deal with many different things at once. Furthermore, I learned of helpful websites for writing a CV and a cover letter depending on what I am applying to. I was surprised by how we have to keep our LinkedIn updated, I must admit I had not really though about it until this seminar. The personal pitch idea was great because it gave me a system to follow in starting a conversation. Of course it must be flexible in order to keep the conversation going. Finally, in terms of when the time to look for jobs comes, like studying for classes, we need to stretch everything out in order for it to not pile up on us when we start applying. We can update LinkedIn and our resumes now and then worry about the other stuff when the time comes. Overall, this seminar was extremely helpful and I am making sure to take advantage of what I learned in planning for my job search!
