Week 3

 Personal branding is something that many people, especially newly graduated young adults tend to overlook, especially in important scenarios, namely job interviews. As I've found, it's not easy to come up with a personal brand, at least when you're trying to come up with a personal brand for the sake of it. Truth be told, the only way to come up with your personal brand is to simply just put to paper how you work, why you're different, and why you're right for whatever job it is you're pursuing. Funnily enough, this is exactly how companies brand themselves, even though, in my personal opinion, it's much harder to put a brand on a person rather than a company. 

This week, Professor Kelsey shared with us a link (logomaker.com) to have a logo for our personal brand created, and as the rock genre acts as a fundamental building block to whom I identify myself as, it only seemed natural to go with something that was rock-esque. Some comments a few friends provided when I asked them how they would describe my brand, they said:

"Independent thinker"

"Reserved"

"Efficient and Effective"

"The most organized disorganized person ever" I liked this one.

Finally, I did think about how would like to be represented when I am "rebranded" in five years, but to be perfectly honest, I wish to remain the same, as I've retained my eccentric personality but not at the expense of my work ethic and integrity. I take pride in the person I am now, and barring some minor tweaks I could definitely use to implement permanently, I'd like to stay the same.
