Personal Branding & About Me
A talk for current students and recent graduates presented by Wix Playground Academy & AIGA NY
“Tell us a little about yourself” is an often-dreaded, open-ended question common to job interviews, and it’s not the easiest to answer – particularly at the start of your career. Being able to successfully talk about yourself will serve you across networking, cover letters, online bios and beyond. In this lecture Vuong Tong and Yotam Kellner of Wix Playground Academy will talk you through how to do just that, covering everything from personal branding and ‘About Me’ pages to self-promotion.
