Opportunity Knocks: Strengthen Your Personal Brand
Opportunity Knocks: Strengthen Your Personal Brand is a professional development event designed to help us define, build, and promote our personal brand through webinar , guest speakers, and networking activities. We learn how to identify our strengths, communicate our value, and position ourselves strategically in our career fields. This event relates directly to career goals by helping us create a strong, consistent personal brand that stands out in the competitive job market, leading to better job opportunities, stronger professional relationships, and greater confidence in interviews and promotions.
One of the key takeaways I gained from the event was the importance of never giving up and always striving to be better, a mindset I want to carry into the internships and interviews I am currently pursuing. A guest speaker shared his journey of initially believing basketball was going to be his career path, but after it didn’t work out, he searched for new opportunities, rebuilt himself, and created a successful new direction. His story reinforced the idea that resilience and personal growth are essential parts of achieving long-term success
