✅ 7 Steps to Build Your Personal Brand as a Fresher

1. Know Your Strengths & Interests

Ask yourself:

What am I passionate about?

What do others praise me for?

What kind of problems do I like solving?

2. Craft a One-Line Bio (Your “Brand Line”)

Example:

“Engineering fresher passionate about clean energy and sustainable design.”
“Creative marketing graduate who tells stories with data.”

3. Build a Consistent LinkedIn Presence

Use a professional photo

Write a strong About section

Post once a week about your learning, experiences, or projects

Comment meaningfully on others’ posts
