Today I had the opportunity to be the inaugural keynote speaker for Full Sail University‘s Student Branding Society. Full Sail course director, Robert Croll and Ryan Mickley, who had the vision to create this group, have done a great job with creating an inspirational group for those seeking ideas on expanding their network and personal brand.
I was honored for this opportunity to complete the “Laura Gainor Utilizing Social Media” story by bringing together the timeline of events of how I was hired at Comet Branding + PR.
I walked through my presentation, showcasing the various events that occurred in such a short time to bring me to Comet Branding, and left the group with tips on how they can start creating their personal brand through social media. This is a topic I’m very passionate about and hope I can make an impact on those job seekers to help them find their dream job.
If you have additional questions and ideas on personal branding, please feel free to leave them in the comments field or contact me directly.
