Personal brand
Tip! This is one of the most important elements of a profile. Think of it as your “elevator speech” that tells a stranger who you are as a professional AND differentiates you from the thousands of graduate students out there. It should read like a succinct/shortened personal brand that covers your professional background and demonstrates your uniqueness as an individual. What are your strengths, talents, values, and traits that make you a unique professional in your chosen field? Your summary is also one of the best opportunities to integrate job ad keywords, core skills, strengths, talents, and interests to get recruiters’ attention. If there is a particular job you are keen on, make sure that this section is aligned with that job ad. Make sure it is well written in a professional style, no spelling and grammatical mistakes, with your unique voice.
