Erin now effectively demonstrates tangible proof of her expertise by providing employers with viewable samples of her work.
"As a student journalist, clips are the best way to show employers I have the skill to succeed. Sure, I can go on and on about how I worked at Company X and Newspaper Y, but only my writing itself can give an employer real insight into my writing abilities."
Erin's career search is simpler now that she has a one-stop, unified portfolio that's always up to date.
"It was cumbersome to get my portfolio of articles seen. I had to either bring the binder I use to hold all the actual cut-outs, or scan them into my computer and email them as attachments. And what about my blog articles, published online with no hard copies? Brand-Yourself.com lets me organize my entire portfolio in one place, regardless of the format of my articles. I can upload and link to the PDF articles I've scanned in, and I can link to articles published online. My portfolio is now one simple, orderly list."
Employers love Erin's site because it gives them a much clearer picture of who she is than her resume ever could.
"Besides my clips, everything else I want people to know about me can be published in one cohesive package on my Brand-Yourself.com site. That's the great thing about the service - you can finally create and control a totally comprehensive representation of yourself. I can elaborate on items my resume is too short to include. I get to insert professional pictures of my dance performances, something I've very proud of but never had a logical way of sharing."
Erin understands that her career management efforts aren't complete without a strong online identity
"Brand-Yourself.com gives me the edge I need in my competitive field. I can show employers exactly what makes me unique - and simplify their jobs by painting a complete picture of myself. I used to think my paper resume was good - now I see that it's lifeless in comparison!"
