of how we market ourselves to
others.

makes you unique

48. Branding Yourself
Helps to define who you are/what you are
about (or why an employer should hire
you)
Branding yourself is a way of associating
great value with a product (the product
being you)
Branding yourself is not about getting an
employer to choose you over your
competition.
It is about getting the employer to see you
as the only solution to their problem
