Your personal brand helps you stand out to recruiters by creating a unified image. As well as a succinct summary of who you are and what you do. The information on your resume is confined by an 8 ½ x 11 piece of paper. Yet, your personal brand extends to showcase all aspects of your life. And it presents a united image of yourself to recruiters, opening the door for more professional opportunities.
