Opportunity Knocks: Strengthen Your Personal Brand.
I attended a professional development webinar hosted via Zoom, featuring a panel of speakers including Lissa Hilsee, Jennifer Haydt, Casey Thierry, and Joseph Ferenchiak. The session focused on practical career insights, workplace expectations, and strategies for success in both virtual and in-person environments. I enjoyed the event because I get to connect with employers and get advice on how to develop a successful career. For example, the speakers spoke a lot about building a personal brand and marketing yourself well, creating a positive reputation, interview tips and explaining how preparation is key. In addition, we were split up into groups to get a more personal experience with the speakers. I joined Joseph Ferenchiak’s group and loved the advice he gave about confirming what you are interested in and even if you are unsure what you want to do career wise, create your own path and eventually you will land somewhere. Overall, I enjoyed the information and insight provided by the panel speakers.
