    great book about personal branding!

    This is a great book about personal branding! According to the author every person has a brand, which is how others perceive, think and feel about them. If you want to land the job of your dreams then you better work on your brand and make it as true to yourself as possible.

    This book is geared towards job seekers trying to get employed, the applications and explanations are all applied to that. If you are a job seeker that's seeking to be self employed, an entrepreneur or you just want to brand yourself for various purposes, you could easily shift the focus onto your situation. The book breaks down how to create a personal brand exactly with very easy steps. The focus is on how to find your true brand and communicate it BEFORE you go in for an interview, so all the prep and questions are in that direction. It's also up to date including web 2.0 applications like twitter and linked in and how to use those for your journey to brand yourself. It's a very easy read, can be easily applied and is a beautiful ride into ourselves.
