You didn't get the job because
your Twitter account showed some questionable post …
You lost your college scholarship
because of the alcohol in the picture of you on facebook …
The interview didn't happen
although you were qualified for the job….
Now, your sitting at home scratching
your head and asking yourself…WHY?????
Why am I not getting the job, the
scholarship the interview that should have been mine without question? Although there could be several possible reasons
hindering you from your desires, one reason that people don't consider is… YOUR
PERSONAL BRAND.
Your brand or your perception of
your brand can help or hurt you in attaining the things that you have been
working really hard for.
QUESTION…
If your brand is the key to
getting into the school, company, club or organization that you desire; when
should you start to developing and managing your brand?
ANSWER…
The minute your parents put the
first picture of you on FB, Twiter, Instagram or any social media sites.
It goes without saying that your brand begins
the day you are born, but unfortunately many of us do not start focusing on it
until we are considering college or in search of a job. By the time you reach college it is way too
late begin brand development at this point you should managing and enhancing
the brand you have in place. Schools, companies
and other organizations will not accept you or interview you until they do thorough
research on you (Online and off line).
What does that mean?
To sum it up…they are looking at
everything you did from the time you signed up for your first social media
account and any problems or accolades that followed you throughout your
physical life.
Long story short the earlier you
begin to think about your brand and how it will effect your future the better
off you will be in attaining your dreams.
God Bless.
