Personal branding is about honing your skills, narrowing your focus, and getting clear on what you’re passionate about so that you have consistent career marketing messages and brand communications.
Branding is not just about you being better than your competition (colleagues, coworkers, connections).
It’s about getting your prospective employers and recruiters to identify you as the ideal and ONLY solution to their current business challenges.
Here are 5 great benefits of a consistent personal brand
