What is branding?
We are all aware of different brands such as Mcdonalds and Nando's (All I can think now is food!!!).When
you think of Mcdonalds, the thing that probably come to mind is the the golden arches (Alaa.. McD punya logo tu laa). When you think of Nando's, you probably think
“Peri Peri.” We think these things because this is how those company’s
brand themselves.
So how do YOU brand yourself?
How do you want people to remember u?
How do u portray yourself to be different? To be you!
Why is it important?
With the job market NOT being at its best and the competition being
stiffer than ever, standing out is VERY important. When this happens, sehebat mana your resume is pon orang tak kisah sebab dah bersepah sangat graduates yang jobless. Employers get piles of resumes when they have a job opening. They google you and check your social networking sites to see the type of person you “really” are.
How you portray yourself on the internet is how you are branding
yourself to people who do not know you. If you have a half naked
picture holding a bottle of liquor as your profile picture on
Facebook, then you are portraying (branding) yourself as a hardcore
party animal.
If you're the type who likes to whine about stuff, orang pon naik menyampah and people would think that you cant keep up with pressure and you give up on things easily.
If you're the type who likes to bad mouth others, potential employers would think that you will be the one yang akan berpolitik kat dalam office tu.
ALWAYS think twice before you post something that you would then regret. Think wisely. If you want to stand out, do it in a positive way. Competition is very stiff. So STAND OUT!
