Positioning in effect determines your MESSAGE, nature of the customer base and is a critical decision in the early days. Prior to the Internet, positioning was considered to be a matter of segmentation, i.e determining ones geographic, demographic and psychographic variables. These are still important; however, search has created it's own set of variables and rules regarding key words.
Module 4: Creating a Knock Your Socks Off LINKEDIN PROFILE
Getting found by the recruiters involves the smart use of your profile. The issue is two-fold:
First, being discovered during a search, and Second, motivating the viewer to contact you.
The b-schools completely (or almost completely) ignore the use of Linked as a branding tool. Strange don't you think? You can learn all about corporation marketing but your university refuses to teach you about having a personal brand, the essence of why a corporation will hire you . But you must take steps to map out your path
You have ability to have a personal brand, to be a star on the stage of life. Step into the role.
