Are Résumés Obsolete?
• Résumés are becoming less important in getting appointments for interviews.
• Résumés will remain important to help validate what your other means of communication say first.– Letters of introduction– Professional networking– Blogging and blog commenting– Social network presences– Personal branding

The Power of a Personal BrandWhen dozens of qualified professionals compete for every opportunity, a Personal Brand is what makes a few stand out from the many.
A Personal Brand clarifies and communicates the strengths, values, and passions that make you uniquely valuable to potential employers and clients.
A Personal Brand does more than help you stand out from your competitors. It helps you identify and target the opportunities that fit your strengths, values, and passions.

What a Personal Brand IS
• A Personal Brand is the unique combination of professional qualifications and personal qualities that always come to mind when someone thinks of you.– I help individuals and companies make the most of talent. I
work as a part of the team. I am a straight shooter who isn’t afraid to have the tough conversations. I also believe that people are more capable and valuable than they often give/get credit for. My method marries the sublime with the systematic — allowing for creativity and change with a strong focus on foundation and implementation.

Adding a Unique Selling Proposition
• Your Personal Brand should include an implicit Selling Proposition “Hire me, and you will get this specific benefit."
• Your Selling Proposition should be unique, one that competitors cannot or will not offer.
• Your Selling Proposition should be tailored to each opportunity.
