Branding You! Using Social Media to Market Your Professional Brand to Employers

By nature, the Project Management profession requires us to keep looking for our next assignment. We've got to keep our skills fresh and market ourselves professionally looking towards our next project. You may be looking for your next assignment internally in your organization or externally on a contract basis.

Either way, you need to know how to convey to other project and program managers what sets you apart. If you can't get that across, how will they ever know how great you are?!

By attending this event, you'll learn to:

�-�Understand the value of marketing yourself and your brand.

�-�Develop your Professional Brand.
