Job Seekers – Personal Branding: Stand Out; Get Hired Faster!

Nike, Starbucks, and Trump: These companies know that branding is critical – it’s what makes them stand apart from their competition. However, branding isn’t just for big companies with big advertising budgets. To win in today’s competitive job market, personal branding is an essential part of the game.

Wendy Terwelp, Career Coach and Personal Branding Strategist (www.knocks.com) says, “Everything you do, say, and wear says something about you. The challenge for most professionals is that they lack the discipline necessary to take control of their personal brands. As a result, their peers choose it for them. Unfortunately, the personal brand others select for you will not always be the personal brand you would have selected for yourself.”

During this workshop-style program, Wendy Terwelp shares her tips, tricks, and strategies to help you stand out from the crowd the right way to get what you want. Whether it’s a promotion, new job, or more business, knowing – and taking control – of your brand is the first step. Get ready to rock during this program and discover YOUR brand, tips to take control, and strategies to make you a rock star at work.

Note: Fabulous door prizes will be awarded!
