Introduction

Personal branding should be competitive considering the rate at which unemployment increases across the world. Lack of a competitive personal branding is likely to lead to joblessness regardless of one’s skills and expertise especially since many unemployed people strive for the same scarce opportunities in various industries. Specific industries seek precise skills which may be dynamic based on how clients’ needs change regularly upon introduction of similar items or more advanced needs. Hence, personal branding should accommodate those changing needs and put one in a competitive position in the job market. I have a plan to brand myself appropriately in the market and repackage my skills to suit the high demand for employment and scarce opportunities. Some key aspects that I intend to develop include academic, personal, and career ones which can be developed by seeking practical experience in any recommended workplace. Hence, there is a need to strategize how my professional branding will be undertaken based on the current job market forces and my long and short term goals.

Another way that I used to synthesize my personal raw materials is by performing aptitude tests that tells me my strengths and skills.

Potential Target market

Generally, those organizations are adaptable to employees, and are subsequently what I need in my profession (Appendix 1).
