Your personal brand is your filter — it’s your criteria and assessment tool for the types of opportunities you seek and where you will do your best work. When job seekers haven’t focused on understanding and building their brand, they tend to accept the first job that comes along, or they try to mold themselves into an ideal candidate for any job they see; in both cases, they give away their power and control.

When you can create a consistent brand and marketing and promote that brand across all mediums — from online to in person — you’re building a career, not just finding a job. You’re clear about the type of work you enjoy and where you’ll contribute your highest value, and the way you will behave, because you know that your vision and your actions will craft the reputation and legacy you desire for yourself, instead of leaving that to chance.

Waiting for an offer from a job or internship after a series of interviews is sure to set the butterflies going in anyone’s stomach. You wait by the phone, fingers crossed and refreshing your email by the minute. Of course, once you get the job there’s plenty to celebrate, but that’s replaced quickly by new butterflies. What’s more nerve wracking than finding out if you got the position? The first day of work.

Companies hire graduates expecting them to have some professional attire. With some simple advice, you’ll be set to take on even the most stringent dress codes. To begin with, you may want to get an idea of what the dress level is like at your new company. Did you notice the attire worn by your interviewers? What about the receptionist? Consider the median age of your coworkers and employees as well – younger folks at a younger company may be more accepting of nice jeans, so long as you pair it with a blazer.

On the whole, you’re safest with over-dressing. While breaking out a three-piece suit could be overkill, when trying to decide between tie or no tie, always go with tie. Heels or flats? Stick with heels. Will anyone notice a tear in your tights? Pick up a new pair at shoes. Give them a quick buff. Better safe than sorry!
