One of my ex clients had just phoned, she had learnt, I had left the agency I was working through. ;-) I have to admit a little personal satisfaction, as it is always nice to be asked for by name. While I would never poach, an agencies clients, it’s unethical, I’ve now had two direct approaches that sadly I am unable to for fill.
After a recent interview with a competitor, am awaiting the Criminal Records Bureau to confirm that I have no record before starting work. With time on my hands it’s time to take a look into Personal Branding.

Problem: competition
Goal: standing out
Solution: personal branding (you can replace this with self-marketing if that makes you feel more comfortable)
Obviously the fact that I have had four job offers this week means I am doing something right, or I’m underselling myself?
Here are some questions for those who disagree with personal branding
- Do you know how you’re being perceived by the people that surround your life?
- Have you ever been called something over and over again but dismissed it?
- Has any kind of visibility, online or offline, generated leads, love interest or opportunities for you?

I used to be very self-concious when I was young and totally lacked confidence in myself. Friends might find this difficult to believe! Life got so much better when I realised I should just be myself and if anyone didn't like that then it was their problem!
