Week 5 - Sorry for being late

So one week has passed again and it’s time for a new blogpost. I’m sorry for this post being one day late, but I absolutely had no time on my hands before and I had some serious issues with uploading the video.

Last week we didn’t have a lesson on Monday because majority of people were hungover/tired from a cruise they had on last weekend and I was reserved during Thursdays class, so not much to tell about last week’s lessons. What I have learned from people attending to Thursday’s class I know that on the lesson we were taught about personal branding and that’s why I have been self-studying personal branding online.

So what is personal branding? Nowadays because of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and etc. you no more so often need to pitch yourself to people like in the past. Now potential employers can just Google your name and get a base image of you even if you haven’t spoken at all. That’s why personal branding is so important nowadays, you need to make a good profile for an example on LinkedIn so when your potential employer checks your profile you’ll make a good first impression about you and you’re more likely to get an invite to a job interview. When you get to the interview, that is when your pitching about yourself starts. You will need to make a clear image about you; your interests, strengths and weaknesses, expertise and so on. 

We also had assignment to make a short pitch about ourselves so here is mine:
