Personal Branding
This week in class we talked about building our personal brand through networking and professional documents. It is time for us to stop being looked at as students and to start being viewed as professionals. One way I ensure that I maintain a positive online presence is by keeping my social medias professional. I use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and LinkedIn. This means there is more ways for potential employers to view me online. I have increased my personal brand through jobs and friends as well. I worked at Olathe Toyota in high school as a porter, where I got in touch with the owner about potential finance internships and positions. I also have a friend that goes to school with me who's dad owns a financial firm fifteen minutes from my home in Olathe, and I have begun to contact him about potential internships. I was also lucky enough to have a friend recommend me for an internship with Northwestern Mutual and I will be interviewing with them next week! That means I will need to update my resume, as I have not had to do that since high school. Once I have updated my resume, I will take it into the Business Career Center to have it looked over by them for any errors. This will be my first time receiving feedback on my resume by anyone other than my parents or relatives. This will also be the first internship I interview for, so I may also set up a mock interview with the Business Career Center to make sure I am fully prepared. I have a long way to go in terms of building my personal brand, but through the University of Tulsa's preparation and my own experiences I will come out of school with a reliable network. #TUBusinessCareers #GoTU #TUCareerPrep
