Personal branding is a technique that plays an important role in the success of any individual. This technique involves a conscious effort to influence public opinion about an individual. But not everyone knows the ways of the corporate world. That’s where ‘Brand New Start’ comes into picture as it will help one in recognising the power of personal branding. The book contains useful advice for anyone wanting to stand out in the corporate labyrinth. The book talks about ‘why’ and ‘how’ of personal branding.
Mainak Dhar has years of experience in the corporate field, and he shares his knowledge in the book on how the modern hiring process works. According to the book, if you are looking for a corporate job, it is necessary to have a well-curated LinkedIn profile. Fill your digital place with content that speaks about your uniqueness and value. In short, leave your digital footprint on social media platforms especially on LinkedIn.
The book begins with an introduction where the author states his purpose of writing such a book. The author has then used the ADDA model of personal branding which also states the importance of the need to share and spread love, kindness and knowledge. With his lucid writing style, he lets the reader understand the need of appreciating self value.
The book gives a clear guideline to the reader on how one should find inner strength, passion and how one may choose an organisation to work for, prepare the resume effectively focussing on point of difference rather than the point of parity. This book focuses on the development of our own efforts and skills. Unless we improve ourselves we can’t proceed on our way to success. The investment you can do is in yourself. That is what the author has written down beautifully.
