Personal branding describes the process by which individuals and entrepreneurs differentiate themselves and stand out from a crowd by identifying and articulating their unique value proposition, whether professional or personal and then leveraging it across platform with a consistent message and image to achieve specific goal.
In this way, individual can enhance their recognition as expert in their field, establish reputation and credibility, advance their career, and build self-confidence. Personal branding is important for any individual regardless of the fields they work in.

Personal Branding Report
Step 1: the students need to think about the job (as professional) or the business (as entrepreneur) they want to pursue after graduation. As the first step, the students need to investigate the requirements/qualification for the job OR business, they can consult Australian job portals for this (www.seek.com.au or www.careerone.com.au)
Step 2: Once they have clear idea of the future job OR business they want to pursue after graduation, conduct research on their personal online present (they might want to google themselves for this), evaluate whether or not potential employers/business partners would get the right impression, why or why not?

Personal Branding Presentation
Presentations should be a “sales pitch” covering the main elements of your personal branding as in point 1 above. All students must participate in the presentation. While it is not expected that they will “dress” for the presentation, students should make an effort to look clean and tidy at least.
The presentation should be NO LONGER THAN 5 minutes. Presentation exceeding 5 minutes will be asked to stop. It is strongly recommended that the students prepare their presentations well in advance of the presentation date, and make some effort to practice their presentation. This will improve the presentation overall.
The students should use any visual aids they need to “SELL” their ideas to class. More involving (better) presentations use more than just a set of power-point slides
