Personal branding is the process of creating and promoting a specific image of yourself. It’s about defining and communicating your unique value proposition to stand out in a crowded marketplace. A strong personal brand is crucial for career success. It opens doors, builds trust, and helps you connect with the right opportunities.
At the UGA Career Center, we're committed to empowering you to develop a compelling personal brand. One exciting tool that can significantly aid this process is artificial intelligence (AI).
