A brand is simply a promise of value; every successful professional and company is successful, in part, because they know how to articulate their brand. The ability to communicate your promise of value is vitally important not only for crafting your own career path, but also for finding out about hidden opportunities and jobs. In this workshop, we learn the fundamentals of branding as it relates to career development and planning strategy. We will work together to develop your own 30-second brand statement which you can use in networking, and informational and job interviews. We will discuss the connection between brand, attitude and reputation, and why every interaction with someone affects how people perceive your brand. You will leave this workshop with the ability to elucidate your own brand to whomever you meet, giving you a critical competitive edge in your career and the job market.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"'>When</span></b><span style='font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"'>: <span style='color:black'>Tuesday, February 14, 2012 from 5:30-6:30 pm</span></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><span style='font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"'>Where</span></b><span style='font-family:"Gill Sans MT","sans-serif"'>: La Aldea Community Room <br>La Aldea is between the Tyndall Garage (north) and the Coronado Residence Hall (south) on Tyndall (the address is 825 E. 5th St.).
