- Kristi Daeda, a Success Coach and Creator of the Career Adventure blog, has many good articles on her own blog, and I regularly read her articles and follow her on Twitter. She offers a great perspectives on how to get feedback from others about your personal brand in an article she wrote for another site, Brand Camp University. Personal branding: It’s not what you say.

Spearheaded by Dan Schawbel, the Author of Me 2.0, it has many articles, interviews and tips to help you build you brand. It was hard picking an article to highlight because there are so many good ones, but I settled on “Brand yourself for the job you want in three years” by Katie Konrath.
