With personal branding all the rage, Bizzywomen.com is helping readers sort through all the content out there to focus on 3 blogs that are worth the time to read.
Personal PR - Tiffany Monhollon has a great blog that deals with these issues. In a recent post she talks about the pros and cons of how to do personal branding for married women. Should they keep their maiden name or new name. “When I started blogging and stumbled into the world of personal branding, I never dreamed all of this would make much difference to me whatsoever, much less impact my real life decision of whether or not to keep my maiden name when I got married nearly a year later. Then, I was struggling with whether or not just to blog under my full name.”
Judy Martin’s WorkLife Nation is another blog with quality content. In a recent postshe writes on the importance of personal branding for women, in today’s job market. “The theme of personal branding has been a consistent thread of discussion here at WorkLife Nation. In a time when many are struggling to keep their jobs, are looking for one, or are starting their own businesses, some career experts are touting the benefit of boosting one’s personal brand to stay competitive. Personal branding is not a new concept, but the Internet has changed the landscape. For women in particular, perhaps the web and social media in general have leveled the playing field. “
Chandlee Bryan’s The Emerging Professional is another blog where you can find on how to stay ahead in today’s job market. Bryan, is a former recruiter, and she gives great tips on how to land that sought after job. In a recent guest post we learn how to use Twitter to get a job. ” Once that decision (not to attend law school) was made, I kept tweeting about articles that interested me, and that were relevant to my job search. Sherry and I also kept in touch, tweeting and e-mailing occasionally, and one of those tweets was the introduction that landed me this job.”
Happy reading!

Aaaron, great recommendations and coincidentally, they are all my friends. Each of these blogs is important because it doesn’t give traditional career advice. In effect, you can stay ahead of the game and stand out from your peers, which is how you become more successful.

Hello Aaron,
Thanks for the mention. I just shared it with the Tweetisphere. I’m particularly grateful that you linked to a post that was so meaningful to me and my colleagues regarding the Feminine Brand.
