How To Build a Strong Personal Brand

Your brand precedes you. That could not be more true than today. If someone is looking to hire you, work with you or meet with you for a coffee, they’re bound to search for you on Google, Twitter or LinkedIn, or all of the above. Research shows that 63% of recruiters check social media sites to find out more about potential employees (Globe and Mail).
