HOW’S YOUR PERSONAL BRAND IDENTITY GOING?

Getting the right image for yourself is just as important and in many cases more important than qualifications. You can be the best educated and talented individual out there, but these things are no good if you can’t promote them in the right and effective way. Just imagine yourself sitting there waiting for the phone to ring, email, or post to arrive following that job application you sent off or pitch for a project you have put forward as a freelancer.

Yes, you probably managed to everything down about your qualifications, what skills you have, and the experience you have gained – so have thousands of other applicants. But, did you stand out, I mean seriously stand out?

Take a good look at your approach and be totally honest with yourself – can you do any better?

• Look at the market you are building your career in and research it in detail.

• How do you fit into that market and sector.

• Do you have a Personal Brand? Style is everything – but more effective if it is unique.

• Presentation – not just your clothes, but the presentation of your skills and experience.

• Establishing how to target yourself to your chosen sector.

• Making the best use of the communication tools out there.

At The Creative Design School, we include these areas in our main courses. We find it pointless if our students finish their courses and just disappear into the job-hunting world without some real guidance in advance. It is also known that some of our students come back to us for additional guidance throughout their careers. Don’t just accept that when you have completed your course, whether it is a diploma or a degree that work is just going to fall on your lap.

The employment sectors are really not focusing 100% on your qualifications, they want to see evidence of your presentation, skills, knowledge, and the work you have done and how you achieved it. If you would like more guidance on promoting yourself, drop us an email so we can help identify the right approach for you through one of our courses.
