This was a hard topic for me, especially now because I think I am in the process of changing brands per say. Up until now I would have branded myself as a competitive division I athlete rowing for Oregon State. With my senior season being cancelled and graduation around the corner I am beginning to look for jobs and in the process of figuring out who I am without rowing. Strengths of mine are that I am a competitive, very organised and disciplined individual who constantly seeks opportunities and challenges. My weaknesses are that I am so accepting of challenges and every opportunity that I am at risk of spreading myself too thin and not being able to accomplish everything I set out to do. And accomplishing it to the same high-level standard that I expect of myself. I have been unique in the sense that I have been involved with collegiate athletics, and I am an international student who has studied abroad for the last four years of my life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An idea that automatically comes to mind for me is framing myself in some sport and competitive related way because it is something that I so strongly identify myself with. By doing this I would try to incorporate a company job description into rowing and sport terminology and show potential ways that I could benefit the company and team I would be working with. I think this could be effectively portrayed in the form of a poster, something static with verbiage within the picture. I am good at organising and collating data and visuals so by creating something visual I would be playing at another strength of mine with the layout of the advertisement. The best method of distribution given the very much word of mouth culture in New Zealand would be to ask a select number of business professionals that I already have within my network to have a copy and share with anyone they know who they believe may be interested. The biggest risk I foresee in positioning myself in this manner is that the employers see me as a know it all, and someone who would dominant the environment rather than blend with the existing company culture. I need to be careful applying for jobs back in New Zealand that the culture and business culture is considerably different to what I have learnt about throughout my time at Oregon State. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
