Your personal brand is really what will set you apart in your career.

➡ Check out the 5 biggest mistakes people make with their personal brand.

💡 But first, what is a personal brand?

It’s a combination of your resume and cover letter, LinkedIn profile, and other public social media profiles.

🎙 Today on the Destination Dream Job Podcast, I talked about the 5 biggest mistakes when it comes to your personal brand. Tune in to hear the full episode!

❌ Inconsistency across platforms

You want to be known for one thing – make sure all your branding reflects this.

❌ Keeping your personal profiles set to public.

91% of hiring managers review social profiles, if you don’t want them seeing it, set it to private.

❌ Not leveraging LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a great way to have a living resume, an opportunity for hiring managers and recruiters to find you with minimal effort on your part.

❌ Listing tasks instead of accomplishments on your resume

When you list accomplishments you prove to the reader that you are really good at what you say you are.

❌ Forgetting to send thank you letters after an interview.

It takes 2 minutes and leaves a lasting impression.

Avoiding these 5 mistakes will help you to improve your presence and stand out from the competition.

☑ Trust me, very few people are doing this.
