For any given job posting, hundreds of applicants flood a recruiter's inbox. If you want to stand out, you need a strong personal brand.
+ Not having a personal site or portfolio
+ Having inconsistent branding across online platforms
+ Not knowing what to include on your site
+ Lacking a unique value proposition
+ Spending too much money or time making a website
Do any of these sound familiar? If so, watch the video below.
It’s no secret that we live in a digital world.
You probably have at least one social media account (try four,) so you understand that having an online presence is now the norm. Not only can you view other’s comings and goings, but they can view yours as well.
But when was the last time you thought critically about how the online community views you?
No longer a tool for just creatives and entrepreneurs, a personal website allows you to control your own narrative, announce exciting events or projects, and keep people up to date on all things YOU.
Creating a website doesn’t mean you need to hire a professional web developer either. You can build a beautiful website all on your own, and this course will teach you how.
