Job Search Success Strategies

Chapter 10 - Art of Marketing Yourself  

During Your Job Search 

In defining personal branding, Peters tells us to "create a

message and strategy to promote the brand called You." To

accomplish this task, ask yourself:

1. "What is it about me that makes me different from the other job seekers?" See if you can come up with an explanation that is 15 words or fewer.
2. What is my greatest  and clearest strength?
3. "What is my most noteworthy personal trait?"  

This is the old feature/benefit interplay at work here. What

is a feature you possess that will have the most benefit for the

employer?

Peters also says to ask yourself:

1. "What do I do that adds remarkable, measurable, distinguished,and distinctive value?"

1. "What do I do that I am most proud of?"
2. "What have I accomplished that I can unabashedly brag about?"

This is an expert from my book, The NEW Rules of Job Search - How to Land an Executive Job in the New Economy, page 161-162.
