Polished, Proud, Professional: Crafting Your Personal Brand

Building a strong personal brand is essential for standing out in today’s competitive career landscape. In this interactive workshop, Kelly Huang will guide participants in learning how to articulate their unique strengths, values, and professional story in a way that resonates with employers, collaborators, and peers.

Through guided exercises and group discussion, we’ll explore:
• How to identify and communicate your core skills and differentiators
• Strategies for aligning your online presence (LinkedIn, resumes, etc.) with your career goals
• Practical tips for building authentic professional relationships and visibility

Following the workshop, there will be a networking dinner featuring tables with representatives from recruiting firms and HR leaders from local biotech companies. This is a valuable opportunity to put personal branding skills into practice while building connections directly with industry professionals.

This session is designed to be both hands-on and supportive, giving participants tools they can immediately apply to their job search and professional growth.
