Our personal brand is the energy we give off when we enter a room. We can instantly tell what someone’s “brand” is by looking at them, listening to the way they speak, and the way they present themselves or handle certain situations. Our personal brand is not our personality. We can be the most depressed and grumpy person at home, but we don’t want to bring that energy into the workplace, so we develop our “brand” that people associate with us. How we sell ourselves to others can really determine our success. This concept trickles down all the way to our resume and how it is presented to employers. From interview #1 we have to have our brand figured out.

Personal brands can extend out of the workplace into daily life. From the clothes we choose to wear to the car we drive all describe something about us – we are constantly positioning ourselves, working an angle, coming up with our own selling proposition. After reading this article I have been picking up on brands that my peers give off. Is it true or am I just paranoid? Do we really have to come up with a personal brand strategy to get by in this world, or can we just truly “be ourselves”?
