You are invited to join OD Live with Gbenga Awomodu: Positioning Your Personal Brand for Career Opportunities.
Personal branding involves finding your uniqueness and building a reputation around it. It is how you promote yourself. Even in business, people don’t do business with companies but rather with the people they like. Personal brand is therefore a huge asset. But creating a personal brand can be daunting especially if you don’t know where to start. In the present evolving job market, it is helpful and necessary to stand out from the crowd whether you are applying for a job or starting your own company.
Gbenga Awomodu will expound on how to build and position your personal brand for career opportunities. This session will cover everything from crafting an outstanding CV, profile and cover letter to writing a winning personal statement. You will learn about the things to consider when building your personal brand, techniques you can use and actions you can take to make your personal brand reach the levels you aspire.
The #ODLive series is part of our efforts to empower our users with the right knowledge and tips they need to grow and succeed in their businesses, projects, and applications for global opportunities.
