ampaign=0> Branding: Smart Strategy or Planned Narcissism?
If you didn't see it, I announced a new feature here this past week. A new
career
<http://timsstrategy.com/experts/ ?utm_source= feedblitz& utm_medium= FeedBlitzE
mail&utm_content=513769&utm_ campaign= 0> expert directory. Just in case you
need a more focused and you-specific guide to job search. There are now 28
experts there. Experts in a variety of categories. And all either people I
know or people who have been highly recommended to me. Not just anyone gets
in the directory!
As the year moves along, I will try to tap these folks and bring you
exclusive interviews. And I hope they'll tap me when I can help them.
And that's what I am doing today.
Meg Guiseppi is a personal branding expert. She writes a great blog called
Executive
<http://executivecareerbrand. com/?utm_ source=feedblitz &utm_medium= FeedBlitzE
mail&utm_content=513769&utm_ campaign= 0> Career Brand and agreed to be
interviewed here. To share her knowledge with you.
Meg is also the personal

e=feedblitz&utm_medium= FeedBlitzEmail& utm_content= 513769&utm_ campaign= 0>
branding expert over at Susan Joyce's wonderful site Job-Hunt.org
<http://www.job-hunt.org/ ?utm_source= feedblitz& utm_medium= FeedBlitzEmail& utm
_content=513769&utm_campaign= 0> . Oh, and she is a great contributor on the
Tim's Strategy LinkedIn
<http://www.linkedin.com/groups? gid=963877& utm_source= feedblitz& utm_medium= F
eedBlitzEmail&utm_content= 513769&utm_ campaign= 0> group. Great advice there
- for free!
So, here is my conversation with Meg:
Tim: Hi Meg, thanks for agreeing to share your thoughts here on personal
branding. There's a lot of talk out there on this topic. Can you start
with your own definition of personal branding?
Meg: Your brand is your reputation - the combination of personal attributes,
values, drivers, strengths, and passions that people know you for and that
differentiates your unique promise of value from your peers.
It's up to you to identify those qualities and characteristics within you,
bring all the pieces together, and communicate a crystal clear, consistent
message across multiple channels - online and offline - that will resonate
with your target audience.
The great thing about personal branding is that it helps generate chemistry
for you by spotlighting your "softer" skills, which are so important to
employers looking for candidates who will be an overall best-fit. They want
more than the right skill sets, knowledge base, and experience. People hire
people they like. They want to know that a candidate will fit their
corporate culture. Your brand helps to indicate good fit.
Tim: Personal branding is not a new idea. But the adoption rate is still
growing as more people have been out of work or looking to make a career
change in this tough economy. Is personal branding still hot? Necessary?
How will this concept change over time?
Meg: You're right. Personal branding is not new. In fact, it's always been
with us. We all already have a brand. Well before Tom Peters coined the term
in 1997, people were assessing other people's reputation and promise of
value before deciding whether to partner, hire, or do business with them.
That's just how things work.
Defining your value proposition and communicating it to your target audience
will always be critical to job search, business development, and personal
development, but it may go by a name other than "personal branding" in the
future, who knows.
Tim: Is there a specific document someone should fill out to make sure they
have all the pieces clearly laid out or is personal branding more about a
few key phrases that you share with others? What does your process look
like when you work with people?
Meg: I offer my clients the choice of 2 personal brand assessment methods,
before we collaborate on actually creating their brand communications
(resume, bio, LinkedIn profile, VisualCV, etc.). Both require my clients to
dig deep.
One is the 360° Reach Brand Assessment, a web-based tool that collects
anonymous, confidential 360-degree feedback in real time from their chosen
respondents. The other is brand assessment through a worksheet I've
developed based on the 360° Reach process, which is ideal for clients who
need to move the process along a bit quicker.
Either way, as my clients and I work on their brand-building and positioning
through consultation, I furiously keyboard their thoughts and insights.
Luckily, I'm pretty fast, so I don't miss much. What's great about this
method of capturing information is that clients often feed me wonderful
little nuggets and unique turns of phrases that translate to branding
touchpoints. This allows me to bring their voice and vitality into their
brand communications.
Tim: You wrote a post called: What
<http://executivecareerbrand. com/what- personal- branding- is-not/?utm_ source=f
eedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitz Email&utm_ content=513769& utm_campaign= 0>
Personal Branding Is Not where you suggest that there are a lot of folks
disparaging the idea of a personal brand (as nothing less than planned
narcissism, for example). Can you talk more about how you differentiate
personal branding from other perhaps more selfish pursuits?
Meg: I wrote that post because I get tired of reading all these far-flung
things that social media wags claim branding can and cannot do for people.
In some ways it's unfortunate that branding is so hot these days, because
with all the buzz, come plenty of misinformation and therefore
misconceptions about what branding really is and the value derived from
defining and communicating your brand.
Branding is not about creating a disingenuous superstar image for the
outside world. It's not all about you. Authenticity is at its core, backed
by giving value to your network. It's about building credibility by sharing
your knowledge and expertise with others. So, narcissistic pursuits don't
mesh too well with what personal branding is really all about.
Tim: I think of my own personal branding as being somewhat fluid. Should
your personal brand be constant or is there room for morphing over time?
Meg: Sure, there's room for growth and morphing, as you grow and your goals
and needs change. We all benefit from regular brand auditing, asking
ourselves what we've done for our brand lately. And we need to monitor and
measure how well our brand is working for us. Is it taking us to the next
step? Is it helping us reach our goals? Is it attracting the right people?
Tim: Are there any other resources (books, blogs, etc) that you would
recommend for people looking to learn more about personal branding?
Meg: A personal branding bible for me is William Arruda and Kirsten Dixson'
s "Career Distinction: Stand Out By Building Your Brand". Along with being
a big fan of your blog and tweets (@TimsStrategy

Article: Insider Secrets to Get Your Resume Read (Hotjobs)
Posted by: "Eric Nilsson" ericnilsson@earthlink.net eric_s_nilsson
Mon Feb 8, 2010 9:52 am (PST)
Insider Secrets to Get Your Resume Read
Maria Hanson, LiveCareer.com, Yahoo! HotJobs
It's becoming harder than ever to get your resume read by a real person.
"HR people are drowning in resumes, and despite their best intentions, many
can't keep up," says executive recruiter Mike Travis.
Help your resume <http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/ > win the attention itresume
deserves by following these up-to-date tips from industry insiders.
* "Keep it shorter, tighter, and more laser-focused," advises resume expert
Louise Kursmark. "Resumes are by necessity becoming crisper and more to the
point." With Twitter, texting, and a barrage of quick-hit multimedia
messages, we're getting accustomed to the succinct. "Readers quickly lose
interest in wordy resumes that don't get right to the point," she says. This
goes for cover letters, too.
* "Show some humor or personality," says Jennifer Turner, of Talagy
recruiting and staffing company. "I recently called a candidate, even though
he didn't match any current positions, because his online resume title was,
'Smart and Funny Sales Guy.'"
* "Make your resume read like a news story, not an encyclopedia entry,"
suggests Sam Levine, of The Buttonwood Group. Pop an eye-catching headline
and lead on the top and be sure to include a summary of qualifications.
* "Be results-oriented," advises Erin Riley, assistant director of career
services at the Chapman University School of Law. Whenever possible,
quantify your accomplishments. Example: Instead of simply writing "Drafted
OSHA appeal," she says, include results: "Drafted OSHA appeal resulting in
90% reduction of employer fine for employee's serious on-the-job injury."
* "Show what sets you apart," says Nancy Keene, a director of Stanton Chase
global executive search firm. "I like to see some indication of personal
interests. It's a good conversation trigger and provides some additional
insight into who the person is."
Riley agrees. "It's an opportunity to make yourself memorable as an
applicant," she says. While an actual Personal Interest section is not
usually advised, you can find ways to integrate your interests into your
