Successful career management requires establishing a visible brand.
A brand must be credible and consistent.
Visibility requires a professional online presence.
Have you established a visible brand? Is it reflected in your resume and your online presence? When was the last time you googled yourself? If you google your name and you are clearly visible in first page results, you are on the right track. If your name presents many pages of search results that are all related to yourself, this is impressive. If, however you are able to google your brand or expertise without your name and still produce results for yourself, that’s the ultimate personal branding accomplishment.
