3 Reasons Why You Should Have A Digital Portfolio
While a portfolio is useful, it is pretty restrictive as it is primarily a physical document and you have to carry it with you everywhere. To overcome this, I strongly recommend you to have a digital portfolio instead. As its name suggests, a digital portfolio is an online repository which allows you to share your accomplishments with anyone who has access to the internet. Besides your accomplishments, you are also able to showcase your skills, interests and passion. Honestly, no one knows how much you have achieved unless you share your success with them. Therefore, you should start early to …
How To Brand Yourself On Social Media
Almost everyone has a social media account. Some of us have more than one, perhaps two, or even three and counting accounts. There are many reasons why people start a social media account.

Besides the social element of keeping in touch, I would also use social media to start my personal brand and get noticed. Why so? If you don’t already know, recruiters and HR people will almost always do a background check on potential candidates before inviting …
How To Build Your Personal Brand On Google
Fact: The King of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley recorded more than 600 songs throughout his career. But do you know how many songs did he actually write? Not a single one! Not “Jailhouse Rock”. Not even “Hound Dog”! The King was just a great performer. All he did was to find great songwriters for his biggest hits. My point is this – You don’t have to do everything yourself. Elvis didn’t need to write his own songs to become one of the biggest rockstars of all time. He just leveraged on the right platform. Similarly in our case. Let …

How To Build Your Personal Branding In Singapore
Shakespeare once said: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet” I first read this hauntingly beautiful line in my literature class during my secondary school days and it has stuck in my head since then. But now I beg to differ. If a rose is not called a rose, it would have the same “market” value as it carries. It would also not be the symbol of love. Here’s a classic example I like to use. Tell me what you think of each of them. – – – – …
Why Personal Branding Helps In Career Success
I used to think my life was a tragedy, but now I realise it’s a Shakespearean comedy. Hi, my name is Lionel Lim… …let me share a short story about myself… My father had passed away from cancer. I became head of the family unwillingly. All the bills, payments, expenses, expectations came to me. I fell into depression as I hated my life and could not cope with this new role which I did not ask for. Plus I hated my job… …and I was told during one of my annual health checkups by the doctor I had high blood …

You just need about $250 to register a domain name, build your website and …

I was soaking in the Mid-Autumn Festival mood along the 40m long illuminated Disney Tsum Tsum tunnel. While marveling at the pretty lights and cutesy lanterns, it was obvious that this exhibition was (yet) another huge hit. Disney is a masterclass when it comes to the art of branding. Here are 3 branding lessons we can learn from Disney. #1: A Brand Must Constantly Innovate I remember watching the animated musical The Little Mermaid back in 1989. It was a box-office hit. Then came Beauty and the Beast in 1991, Aladdin in 1992, Toy Story in 1995, Monsters Inc in …
Image Consultation Course Singapore
Do you know that your image greatly affects your reputation? When people first see you, they will look at your outfit first, followed by your posture and lastly, they will look at your behaviour. Are you wearing executive wear with sneakers? Wearing a long dress with slippers? These are a big “NO NO” to dress when going out especially when wearing formal clothing. Sure you may feel comfortable, but the image you give to others around you is not a positive one as it shows as if you are not put together and your outfit looks all over the place. …
