for Mary Warnock phd only

Overview:

We are all marketers.  We market ourselves in a quest to find a job, make a date, warm up a relationship, get connected, or achieve something we want or deserve.  We are always sending messages about ourselves, whether we know it or not.  Marketing yourself is a necessity.  It is natural and sincere; it is second nature. 

Many things inhibit us from marketing ourselves: fear, risk, time, effort, social factors, lack of planning, and previous experience.  The secret is to mitigate these inhibitions by finding out who you are, where you derive confidence, and what you are passionate about; and then make your intentions and actions congruent to that knowledge.  With a 3-6 page single spaced self-audit and conscious planning, you can overcome the things that inhibit you, accomplish your goals, and better market yourself.

Please follow the organization of the assignment, labeling each section. Focus on self-insight, thoroughness, and the relationship between what you discover about yourself in Part I and the marketing plan you create in Part II.  Your marketing plan should reflect your goals for a career.   

□Part I: Understanding Me

A self-analysis, in part, entails asking yourself some very difficult, but important, questions. It is critical that you respond to the questions honestly, because your answers ultimately will be used to create your mission statement and personal marketing plan.  A less-than-candid appraisal of yourself will result in an ineffective exercise and poor planning for your future.     

Answer these questions about yourself. Please put the questions and answers in the APPENDIX  at the end of the paper.

Who am I?  What do I stand for?  What do I do well?  Where do I get my confidence from?  What role do I play in a group? What motivates me?  What am I passionate about?  What are four words I would use to describe myself?  How do I add value to others?  to a company? to the world around me?
