Build or update your LinkedIn profile
Your LinkedIn profile is essential as the foundation of your personal brand. Once you’ve identified your career mission statement, begin building your brand online. Through it, you can promote your skills, accomplishments, and goals.
If you’ve already kickstarted this process, consider reviewing your content to update any outdated content, photos, or text and make your profile more relevant to the skill wants of today.
Harness audio and video
Video allows for greater expression of soft skills such as public speaking, leadership, and presence, while audio can be another means to spread your message.
Tools like Anchor.fm makes it possible to start a podcast easily with just your mobile phone in hand.
Focus on learnability
None of us know exactly what the future of work will bring, but to meet new challenges that may come our way, learnability is necessary.
To keep your learnability skill sharp, find out more about unfamiliar topics and keep growing. You can find out more about your Learnability Quotient online too.
In times of uncertainty, job roles will require adaptability and resiliency. It’s about what you are willing to learn, adapt and apply for tomorrow’s needs.
By building your personal brand, you will be able to project these values to the marketplace that needs them.
