Is hiring a professional resume writer or job coach worth my time?

That is a great question! But it really is two separate issue. The real issue job services to begin with. Why to hire them & what purpose will they serve to build your future branding. You are now in a market where job security is an issue so personal branding should be your focus. Company do not care about you personally only that you make them money in some way. The minute they can find someone or some program that can do your work, YOU are out of work. This is a sad but true situation. The solution is two fold, education & branding. The more you know & the more you are liked, the more you are in demand. The answer to the question is yes, hiring professional services like a job coach & resume writer & others is a great idea.

 

Let’s talk about what it means to personally brand your self. You will need to do a few things to tie it all together. Make sure your email signature is professional. You will need business cards and you will need to look at your online profiles. Yes your facebook, twitter and any other platform you use to communicate to folks on line. Take a step back & ask yourself what you see? What are you telling folks? Do you have a lot of photo’s on line you would not show everyone? Do you have a lot of party pictures? Do you swear on line & tell off color jokes? Are you careful about what you post & picture you have on your social media? Your picture you see is the real way people see you. I always like to say this: If you want the world to know what you are up to post it on line. No mater how private you think you have your profile, some one can always get a look at what you are putting out there. In fact most social medias back their platforms up. They have been solicited by courts for cases before them. Don’t think it is safe or is even yours after you post it. Did you read the fine print?

 

All in all your personal brand needs to happen & getting your branding team together is worth the money spent. After all you are investing in yourself! What better investment could you make!
