Step 1: My Brand as a Potential Employee
I would describe my brand as driven, personable, and dependable. I bring a strong work ethic, a natural ability to connect with others, and a commitment to excellence in everything I do. I strive for perfection and take pride in producing exceptional work. I’m highly social and confident in collaborative environments, and I’m not afraid to take initiative or tackle big challenges. While I sometimes struggle to delegate and can get overwhelmed in high-pressure situations, I own my mistakes, learn quickly, and rarely repeat them. What sets me apart is my well-rounded skillset and consistent reliability, whether it’s leading a project or supporting a team, I always deliver with integrity and professionalism.
Step 2: A Creative “Situation Wanted” Ad
🎯 WANTED: An Organization Seeking an All-Around Star
Energetic, hardworking professional seeks organization in need of an enthusiastic team player with a perfectionist’s touch and a can-do attitude. Expert in juggling multiple priorities, creating exceptional results, and building strong relationships. Offers unmatched follow-through, fearless initiative, and the rare ability to admit mistakes and grow from them fast. If you’re looking for someone who can adapt, lead, and thrive in dynamic environments, look no further. There are some work-in-progress areas, but the commitment to improvement is unwavering.
How I’d Share This:
To make this ad visible, I’d create a personal branding website featuring the ad, a video intro, testimonials, and work samples. I’d promote it via LinkedIn, career fairs, and targeted outreach to companies I admire. I’d also design a visually engaging PDF version to send with applications—something unique that stands out in a recruiter’s inbox. The goal? Be memorable, be authentic, and be undeniable.

Hi Hannah, I think you did a great job showing who you are and what you bring to a job. I really liked how honest and clear you were about your strengths like being hardworking, friendly, and reliable. It is also great that you mentioned what you are working on, like delegating and handling pressure. That shows you are self-aware and open to learning. Your “situation wanted” ad is creative and fun to read. It shows your energy and positive attitude. I also think your idea of making a personal website with a video and work samples is really smart. It helps you stand out and gives employers a better idea of who you are. Sharing it on LinkedIn and at job fairs will definitely get attention. Overall, I feel you have found a great way to show your personality and skills while still looking professional. I think a lot of employers would be excited to work with someone like you. Great blog this week! I really enjoyed reading it.
Hi Hannah,
Great work on your situation wanted ad — I found it very engaging. I would use a similar tactic in my own situation wanted ad. One of my previous employers once described me as the “Jack of all Trades.” I think this descriptor is similar to the “All-Around Star” title you leveraged in your post.
Thank you for sharing!
