Fine-Tuning Your Personal Brand

Since we often talk about differentiating yourself in a crowded market around here, I thought you might like to know that twenty-something branding phenom Dan Schawbel recently launched a new magazine, Personal Branding.  As you might guess, the magazine is about establishing a professional and memorable identity in order to drive your career forward, and it provides concrete advice you can use today for leveraging online avenues like blogging, social networking, and multimedia.

I would trust anything Dan has to say about personal branding, because he has done it so expertly.  In just a year or so, he has firmly established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the career blogosphere.  As a result of the smart way Dan has presented himself in his networking efforts, he’s managed to secure contributions from the likes of Jim Stroud, Guy Kawasaki, and Joel Cheesman.   He’s a thriving example of how you don’t have Microsoft’s marketing budget to do personal branding successfully.

Each issue will be sold quarterly as a pdf document in the months of February, May, August and November, and 50% of the proceeds benefit The American Cancer Society.  And best of all, you can try before you buy.  Check out a sample, and let me know what you think of Dan’s latest effort!

Alex, enjoy the blog and the radio show. I wrote an article that talks about personal branding on my blog www.corporatecatwalk.com. I would like to link to this post as it delves a little deeper. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Hi

I thought you will be interested to
know that my company, eGrabber (www.egrabber.com), has just
released Social Network Grabber for Excel.

This tool enables recruiters to capture and import all LinkedIn profiles
from LinkedIn search results into Excel with a single click!
There is no programming to do. This tool can be given to admins
and others to help create an initial database of prospects.

The tool automatically opens each individual profile and imports
every attribute from the LinkedIn profile into a column in Excel.
All formatting is automatically and professionally handled.

Recruiters can quickly shortlist candidates and forward the Excel
list to hiring managers. Links within Excel allow hiring managers
to directly access resume. This is a real time saver!

This magazine truly is a goldmine for people who want to learn how to brand themselves professionally. Personally, I got a lot out of the interviews with some of the leading minds in recruiting and branding.
