Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
In these uncertain times, new graduates and the newly unemployed need to manage their online images to find employment. This outstanding, easy-to-read guide shows millennial job seekers how to promote themselves both online and offline via Schawbel's concept of personal branding, or "how we market ourselves to others." Although he did not create the concept, Schawbel has successfully used e-marketing strategies, including many web 2.0 social networking technologies, such as blogs, wikis, and podcasts, to advance his career. He has also established himself as an authority in assisting others with these goals through his four-step method, i.e., discovering, creating, communicating, and maintaining individuals' personal brands. This enjoyable read is enhanced by gray-shaded informational sidebars, a glossary, and many testimonials about the success of Schawbel's method. Well suited to both students and the general public, this timely title is also recommended for human resource and recruiting professionals.—Caroline Geck, Lib. Media Specialist, Newark Public Schs., NJ

Review
"Self-branding may seem like a useless buzz-phrase better suited to Donald Trump, particularly given that you're just trying to lay low and hang on to your job until the recession is over.  But personal branding guru Dan Schawbel, author of the upcoming book Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success, says it can be even more important to create a distinctive, marketable role for yourself in a recession."   U.S. News & World Report

"Me 2.0 is an easy, thought-provoking read and recommended for anyone who may find themselves back on the job market with only a paper resume as a calling card."   Entrepreneur

 

“[Schawbel] presents a very detailed and comprehensive guide to employing a full arsenal of mostly online tools -- including social networking -- to develop a public persona that will enable you to be the go-to person for your area of expertise. In addition, he provides a very thoughtful set of self-assessments and bullet points for evaluating and acting upon the appropriate combination of tactics to ensure that top of mind attention is paid.” —Miami Herald

 "Only 25, Dan Schawbel has branded himself as the expert in personal branding. Even more, he's found a competitive edge: He's the expert in Gen-Y personal branding. Schawbel writes an online personal branding magazine. He has a personal branding website. He says personal branding will help college students land jobs, entrepreneurs get financing, even managers earn promotions."  —Miami Herald

 

 

“This outstanding, easy-to-read guide shows millennial job seekers how to promote themselves both online and offline via Schawbel’s concept of personal branding, or ‘how we market ourselves to others.’” —Library Journal

 

"The Business world is changing and what Dan Schawbel has captured in this book is the pulse 

of the changing branding market."  Gary Vaynerchuk, host and founder of Wine Library TV

 

"[Me 2.0]  is well written and logically organized. The book also includes a glossary that is accurate and concise. This was an added feature that added value to the book as a whole." —ZDNet.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Yourself Branded!, June 23, 2009
By James Kukral "Jim Kukral" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Length:: 2:06 Mins

Me 2.0 is a book I wish I had when I was just getting out of college. It would have saved me years of figuring out personal branding all on my own. This is a great book for the individual who realizes that you are going to get more of what you want in life "if" you go out and take it, and brand yourself the right way. Otherwise... you're going to be just like everyone else in the pack. Bad move. Buy this book and get motivated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book for people of all ages, April 17, 2009
What I enjoy most about Me 2.0 is that its empowering and geared towards generation y. However, it can be applied to anyone outside this generation. Reading Me 2.0 made me realize how everyone is a brand, from being a college student to professional athlete.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book on online social media, April 8, 2009
By Jeffrey Davis "cfpfinancalguy" (Powell, OH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whether you are a newbie to the job seeking scene, re-entering it or just feel a little lost about the vast world of online social media, this book is for you! In this book, Dan does a great job of showing you how to make the best use accessing the many avenues of internet media to further your current career or help you jump start a new one. I picked this book up because I felt overwhelmed by all of the online social media like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, blogs, etc and could not find a good source that would teach me what these are, how they are impacting our culture and why I need to get on the boat of understanding them so I don't get left behind. I also have a 14 year old son who is using this kind of media and I felt it important to 'be in the know' in order to protect him online. This book offers a complete solution to this -- all in one location and is an easy read. Good Job Dan --- and Thank You!
--- Jeff Davis (www.cfpfinancialguy.com)
