On September 27th, the WMBA joined forces with Deloitte to present a Personal Branding and Resume Workshop.  In this workshop, a representative from Deloitte’s Federal Practice gave us tips on how to structure an effective personal branding statement.  We learned that always having a personal branding statement prepared is critical for success in today’s business world.  This statement can be used as a 30 second pitch to a recruiter at a career fair or to a senior executive in the elevator at work.  The workshop became interactive as we practiced our personal branding statements with each other.

Then, the representative gave us some resume tips as well as explain what she looks for in resumes.  At the end, the workshops attendees had an opportunity for a brief one-on-one resume consultation with the representative.
