Let's start the dialogue; time to pick principal interests and narrow down the focus.

question 1 The main thing I learned at personal brand camp is that you don't need to pick a specific interest right now and make it your personal brand for your entire professional career. More than 1 mentor pointed out to me that everyone has multiple interests and so unless you are completely confident about the path you want to take, you don't have to pigeonhole yourself. I am going to keep my own personal brand somewhat general so that I can blog about many of my different interests. It was also cool to learn that if you do indeed have 1 major interest you want to focus on you can always write a 'guest blog' to encapture a different topic. I liked how the mentors made it clear that recruiters are people too and they want to know about our interests and what makes us stand out! One mentor suggested including pictures and videos with our resumes- something i hadn't thought about previously. -Casey Mundy
