As a potential employee, I would define my personal brand as an organized, devoted employee who is always willing to go the extra mile and think creatively to solve solutions. As far as first impressions go, I think that it is important for potential employers to see personal interest in the company as well as someone that can offer experience and leadership within the field. For personal strengths, I am organized, dependable, and hardworking, and something I could work on is delegating work or not taking on too much at a time. Something that sets me apart as a potential employee, especially in the sports field, is my experience working within a Division One basketball program and the skills I have gained through working there for four years. I have held leadership positions in different clubs and know how to effectively communicate and get along with groups of people. When creating my own situation wanted ad, I thought that the way the woman from Buffalo stood in the intersection and handed out resumes was a perfect example of how recruitment can be a two-way street. I do not think I would necessarily come into contact with many of the employers I am interested in by doing exactly this, but I thought that maybe having some resumes handy or striking up more conversations with executives and athletic directors as they come into the basketball office. This way, we are in the work environment and they can see my strengths in action as well as having referrals and coworkers around as well. By immersing myself in that environment they can see my excitement and desire to work in the field, and I would also have the best chances of landing a job in my desired field of work. When you think of positioning yourself in a creative way, I think that it is a bit intimidating to think of but I think that it is extremely beneficial. In the sports industry, a lot of people get jobs based on who they are connected with, and I think that just by introducing myself and my career aspirations as well as learning a bit more about their job I could potentially make an impact.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
