Recommended Resource: Free Personal Branding eBook

I wanted to share this great, free resource for college students from my friends at PricewaterhouseCoopers:
Here is some info about the book from PwC:
In today’s competitive environment, students need a way to differentiate themselves from their peers. They need an “X” factor that makes them indispensable. In short, they need a personal brand.
Personal branding can be a powerful tool for professional success. Personal branding is not simply a cosmetic exercise but instead a process that helps to develop skills that increase the potential of standing out in the crowded job market.
As one of the largest employers of college graduates in the United States, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) has unique insights into what makes students stand out. But we’re not keeping those insights to ourselves.
In February 2010, PwC launched Personal Brand Week and dedicated each day to a different theme. The response from across the country was overwhelmingly positive. And now we’re taking it one step further and sharing the best personal branding tips and worksheets with you in this e-book.

The February jobs report came out on Friday and it was bad — even worse than expected. If you’re graduating this spring, or have recently graduated, you’re probably pretty frightened.
I absolutely understand we are in deep economic trouble, but I also know that there are opportunities available for young professionals who are smart, hardworking and willing to go the extra mile. PricewaterhouseCoopers has the same attitude. I’m currently working with PwC on a national project to help students and recent grads to “recession-proof your job search.” A few weeks ago I provided ten tips and a video on PwC’s website, and now we’re expanding the resources available to make sure you can find all the help you need to get a job.
