If you are ready to make a career change, following are four “musts” that will help you build your personal brand so you can find the right position for your skills, values and goals.
1. Establish A Professional Presence Online
It’s no secret that when you are job hunting, you will at some point be “Googled” by a potential employer. This means that you need a clean, professional online presence across social media platforms. Because it serves as a digital resume, LinkedIn is a must.
Make sure your LinkedIn profile is complete and up to date and that all your social media pages feature a professional picture. Don’t be afraid to ask current and previous colleagues to write recommendations on LinkedIn about their experiences working with you. If you don’t have a professional photo to use across all social media platforms, consider investing in a photo shoot. A professional head shot can make a huge difference in how well your digital introduction is received.
