With the job market more competitive than ever, I think students should not only focus on their grades, but also they should learn how to market themselves to land their job positions after graduation. It seems networking, and the saying, “its not what you know, but who you know”, is definetly more true in today’s job market, as so many jobs are offered through referrals. I wish I had learned the importance of self marketing, sooner…Oh well better late than never.. It doesn’t have to be overly expensive or fancy, but creating things such as your own personal blog, or promoting your business through a facebook page, or a YouTube Channel, or a Linkedin page, to show your audience what you are all about, can really give you an edge and make you stand out in the sea of job applicants… Check Out the video above, that My Team and I made, as an example of Self Marketing, this was a video made to promote the CA designation and was our team’s entry into the “2012 Become a Chartered Accountant YouTube Contest”. Yes that is me, in the Video.
