Personal Branding Weekly – 10 June 2013

  • 1 min read

Next week is Small Business Week and as a small business owner I value other business owner’s experience and consider that even more valuable than money.

My question:  In what ways are you using social media in your personal branding efforts? Is it different than what you do for your business?

I’m writing a blog post about this and will happily feature you and your story in my post.

This past week here are some articles that you might have missed:

This week we welcome Marc Miller to the author team. Marc is founder of Career Pivot. Marc authored the book Repurpose Your Career: A Practical Guide for Baby Boomers, published in January 2013, which has been featured on Forbes.com, US News and World Report, CBS Money-Watch and PBS’ Next Avenue.

Here’s what we have to look forward to this next week:

  • Why You need a Recruiter to Feel You
  • Using Humor Safely During Your Next Talk
  • Personal Brand and the Baby Boomer Generation
  • 5 Ways to Refresh Your Brand this Summer
  • Why Your Job Search Needs a Target Employer
  • Presentations that Reflect Positively on Your Personal Brand
