Critiquing a Recruitment Ad

My personal brand as a potential employee is that of a strong, determined leader with a great sense of humor. Typically extroverted, but can be reserved in certain situations when necessary. My strengths include being adaptable, personable and detail oriented. I also have excellent time management skills, which can be corroborated by my history of juggling many tasks at once. I avoid confrontation, so my main weakness is reprimanding others. What sets me apart from others is my tenacity and determination. When I set my mind to something, I get it done. I am used to proving myself to others and climbing the ladder to success.

This information could be communicated to others via an advertisement or informational video that centers around myself. I would start by introducing myself, talk about my educational background, what I have done in the last four years and what I plan to do in the future. For example, I would say “Hello, my name is Cezanna Ems and I am about to graduate from Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Science in Mangement. After my graduation, I will be doing an internship with Blount International in their HR department. I will be focusing on employee recruitment. During my time at OSU, I received high marks in most of my classes, and was on the honor roll ten terms in a row. I was also a member of the Order of Omega and Phi Kappa Phi, two renowned honors societies. I was also president of my sorority, Sigma Kappa.” When I say this, clips and images of these organizations I mention would appear. I would then talk about my strengths and why I would be a great asset to any organization. I would also provide examples of situations I have been in that I learned from that have helped me become a better leader. As for making sure this ad was visible to prospective employers, I would guess linking it to my LinkedIn and HandShake profiles will be where I start. Or maybe I could email it out to organizations.
