"Personal branding, writing a resume, creating an advertisement all have a common theme. When trying to persuade someone, generic statements aren't enough." I take issue with "you can make your own luck," but the post has some merit in terms of the signifiers you use to describe yourself.

Interesting. Before I got my current job, I was attempting to find one in social media. The idea of giving myself a social media title hadn't even occurred to me.

My friend posted it, and there were such comments like "it's so sad and true," and "I cried," etc. It did get a lot of hits and went viral, I'd say at least on FB. :)

An interesting social media project via Dove. The girls were more comfortable about who they are than their mothers were.

There was this great project last year that asked girls to ask what they liked best about either themselves or their bodies and the responses were so cool. One girl really loved her feet because they could take her anywhere!
