How to use LinkedIn for personal branding and career success

Personal brand will happen – with or without your input.

When you are on a journey towards achieving that personal success in life, and the world is a busy place, personal branding communicates what you are to the world. It conveys the POV, adding on a different dimension on top of your resume. It carries brand promises and what you bring to the table.

Fresh graduates need to learn how to transit from the world they knew to a brand new world of work. Re branding themselves is crucial at this early career point.

For those who are exploring new opportunities, how would you present yourself to potential hiring managers that you have what it takes to perform?

This Post Belongs To Facebok, Not LinkedIn

“I hate my previous job. The boss shouts at me all the time. He allows his blue-eyed boy to come in late and gets great performance review every year. I hate it so much that I resigned. I wish I will get a better job than this crap. And I don’t care what other people say.”

This kind of posting has its place in Facebook, not in LinkedIn. And, you better lock down your profile as well and pray that potential hiring managers or future bosses do not discover your feed.

Still don’t give a sh*t?

Think again.

Unless you plan to retire and live like a hermit with plenty of resources to live on, your postings on social media will be there forever. In fact, your questionable posts and pictures might last longer than you are. Future employers will think twice about hiring you. Behaviour like that are not tolerated. If you had posted something unprofessional like that, chances are, you might do it again.

 

Pick your battle venue.
