These days, going to college and getting that coveted degree may not be enough to land you your dream career. In reality, the job market is so saturated with competition that internships are the latest rung on the ladder leading to the entry-level job. But, have the stereotypes of interns going on coffee runs, making copies, and not getting paid been greatly exaggerated--and even tarnished the process?
There are a lot of misconceptions about--and controversies surrounding--internships, mostly negative for both the intern and the employer. In fact, internships have essentially become nothing more than a “necessary evil” to many. Let’s face it: The system is broken and needs to be repaired.

2. Creating & Maintaining
Your Personal Brand
and Rocking Your Network
Presented by:
Heather R. Huhman
3. Step 1:
Determine Your Differentiation
What do you bring to the table they can’t?
– Write down every skill, characteristic, and interest
you have – this becomes your “unique you”
What collateral material will you need to
communicate your unique you?
– Business cards
– Online portfolio
3
4. Step 2:
Create an Online Portfolio
Find out if your personal domain name is for
sale (firstnamelastname.com). If it is,
purchase it!
Don’t forget to purchase hosting
I recommend building and designing your
online portfolio using a free content
management system, such as WordPress
– BlueHost.com specializes in hosting WordPress
Web sites
4
6. Online Portfolios, Cont.
On the homepage, include a welcome
message to visitors – this can be a similar,
more generic version of your cover letter
Create a page/tab:
– Where visitors can download your résumé in PDF
format (iPaper is a good app for this)
– For your actual portfolio
– Linking to your professional blog
– With your contact information
6
7. Online Portfolios, Cont.
What to include in your online portfolio:
– Case studies (problem, solution, results)
– Class projects
– Volunteer/internship work
– Professional testimonials/recommendations
7
10. Step 3:
Create a Professional Blog
Select a topic or niche
Decide on your posting frequency, and stay
with it
Admit upfront you are not an expert
Write interesting content – and write it well
Follow and comment on other blogs
Promote your blog
Don’t be afraid to be wrong
10
11. Step 4: Develop Your Core
Message / Elevator Pitch
Elevator pitch = a short sound bite where you
explain who you are and what you’re seeking
Typically 30-60 seconds or 150-200 words
Keep it short & concise in order to hold your
listener’s attention but still get enough
information out to them
11
12. Step 4: Develop Your Core
Message / Elevator Pitch
In general, your elevator pitch should consist
of:
– Your name (if meeting for the first time)
– Current status (student, etc.)
– What you seek (internship, entry-level job)
– Your unique selling points
– Qualifications
– Passions
– Call to action
12
13. Step 4: Develop Your Core
Message / Elevator Pitch
Comes in handy at networking events or
when meeting hiring managers and
recruiters
Helps you answer the interview question “Tell
me about yourself”
Share a story
– Mention past accomplishments and goals you’ve
reached (but be concise!)
13
14. Step 5: Evaluate Your Current
Online Presence
If you Google your name, what comes up?
What can you edit? What should be public
information, and what should not?
Decide what you want those who search for
you to know about you and how much
specific information you want to share
Knowing what’s already out there will help
you create and maintain a consistent online
brand
14
15. Step 6:
Get on Social Networks
According to recent Reppler/Lab42 research,
91% of hiring managers use social
networking sites to screen job candidates
– Facebook: 76%
– Twitter: 53%
– LinkedIn: 48%
During which phase of the hiring process?
– After receiving an application: 47%
– After an initial conversation: 27%
15
16. Social Networking, Cont.
Etiquette:
– Listen
– Be relevant
– Mind your brand
– Engage
– Give more than get
16
18. Step 7: Become a Networking
Rockstar
Networking is creating a two-way,
mutually beneficial relationship between
yourself and a connection
70-80% of jobs are filled through networking
– Employee referrals
– Unadvertised openings
– Connections with hiring managers/CEOs
18
19. Networking, Cont.
Attend lots of events
– Make sure people know who you are
• If an organization you are really interested in is
holding an open event, make sure to go
• Make face time, so they know who you are
• While you cannot ask for a job, be sure to tell them
about your future plans
– Don’t just attend events within your industry
• Attend events that interest you
19
20. Networking, Cont.
Find ways to bring up parts of your online
portfolio in face-to-face conversations
– At networking events, think of ways to weave
some of the work you have done into the
conversation
– Kick off the discussion by asking about their job
and what their day to day is like
– At appropriate moments, mention your interests
and accomplishments
20
21. Networking, Cont.
Ping with a purpose
– Pinging refers to communicating in useful ways
with new contacts so you stay fresh in their
minds
• Make sure to follow-up with the people you
connected with in-person by e-mailing them
interesting articles of a common interest, or simply
notifying a hiring manager of any changes in your
résumé or contact information
– Staying top-of-mind is key
21
22. Networking, Cont.
Stay organized
– When you meet someone & get their business
card, take a few notes on the back to remember
important parts of your conversation
– Create social networking lists or Excel/Google
spreadsheets of important contacts to remember
key information (such as title/position, company,
things in common, etc.)
– Resource: Gist.com
22
23. Networking, Cont.
Become a follower
– Seek out recruiters and hiring managers on
Twitter and follow them
• Make sure you contribute to the conversation and
demonstrate your qualifications -- because any
opportunity to converse is an opportunity to impress
– If you constantly pop up on people’s Twitter
feeds, you will continue to stay top-of-mind
23
24. Networking, Cont.
No matter where you meet someone, the
only real way to bring them into your
network is by keeping in contact with them
After your first meeting, follow-up with them
by:
– Asking him/her out to lunch or coffee
– Sending an e-mail
– Engaging with him/her on social networking
sites
24
25. Networking, Cont.
Leverage your network
Master the “art of the ask”
– Smart networkers know the strategies for
determining what to ask for, who to ask, and how
to ask for any goal they want to achieve
– Help can come almost immediately if you’ve laid
the groundwork correctly
25
26. Networking, Cont.
Don’t just send an e-mail saying, “Hey, I’d like
to meet to talk about job opportunities at
your company. Are you free tomorrow?”
Instead, say, “I’m really interested in taking my
paralegal degree into the nonprofit world.
Would you be open to a quick phone call or a
brief meeting sometime to share insights on
how you did it?”
26
27. Networking, Cont.
Take cues from your contacts
– If you ask for a meeting and they’re more
comfortable with a short phone call, take it
Come prepared with good questions
27
28. Step 8:
Create a Plan
Set goals
Research your social community
Select your brand ambassadors
Manage your reputation
Establish yourself as a thought leader
