Critiquing a Recruitment Ad

I want my personal brand to show that I am a hard working, creative, outgoing individual who is easy to work with and is always up for new challenges and opportunities. I have spent the last three years taking an average of sixteen credits per term while working two jobs and still finding the time to go to the gym almost everyday and spend time with my friends and family. I pride myself on being able to take on many different commitments at once and still putting my all into everything I do. I am very good at prioritizing my time and staying organized and focused. I also love being creative; coming up with new ideas, designs, and projects is something I really enjoy. Lastly, I have a very outgoing personality and I love interacting with others. I think I would prove a valuable addition to both an individual or a team work environment, because I am very good at holding myself accountable for my own work, but I also thrive in a collaborative environment where I am able to meet new people and succeed together. I sometimes have trouble speaking my mind and taking a leadership role in group atmospheres, but I have recently been given a leadership position at my current job and I am really working on having the self confidence necessary to be a successful leader.

If I were to creative a situation wanted ad for myself, I would use my creativity as best I could. The first idea I had was to make business cards for myself as an individual, and hand them to people I meet at my current jobs who I believe work for companies that could use someone with my personality and skill set. I would make the business cards very eye catching and clearly highlight my strengths and previous job experience and education. My second idea was to create an ad for social media. I love photography and editing, so I feel that I could create an impressive ad for myself that I could share on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. I would try and highlight as many of my skills as possible in these ads, as well as showing off my personality. My third and final idea would be to create an email advertisement for my situation ad that I could send to anyone from relatives to previous professors to old colleagues. In this email I would again highlight my skills and strengths, as well as the type of work that I am looking for. I would want the email to appear crisp, refined, vibrant, and easy to read. I would use the design elements of both the email campaign and the social media advertisements to additionally highlight my personality and specifically my creativity.
