It made me think of challenges we face these days when using social media professionally and more and more for jobsearch–it is sooooo important to keep social media professional because it is so public. Of course, what professional means can be very different in different fields, but that separation from private life gets blurry with social media. I will say all day long that any time spent thinking through and developing a strategy for a professional web presence is time well spent–then it’s just a matter of sticking to it! More on that in an upcoming post…

“I feel now that I’ve established and will continue to develop my own brand of resourceful-preneurship, I’m more secure than ever that I will be able to continue earning a living.”
Resourceful-preneurship is an awesome term and idea–I’ll be watching for your tweets and #smallbizchat to learn more anywhere else I should look?

In this job market, with employees being eyeballed as costly overhead, a job and a paycheck can disappear and you may not see it coming. Even if you feel your job is fairly secure, having your personal brand in place can work for you in so many ways when you are forced to make a change.

One thing I do to keep my personal brand in tact is that I do use different email addresses to ensure that my personal brand doesn’t blend with anything I choose to keep private. All of my correspondence is distinctly separate and I never mix them. It’s not too clunky once you get used to it. I manage them with Outlook.

I feel now that I’ve established and will continue to develop my own brand of resourceful-preneurship, I’m more secure than ever that I will be able to continue earning a living. Pretty powerful, don’t you think? Thanks again for the post. I look forward to reading more. Best regards, Sonia
