Define the identity that should travel with you
Choose three qualities you want people to associate with you and make them visible across your main profiles.
Your short exercise
- Write three words that accurately describe how you want to work and contribute.
- Review your résumé, LinkedIn and one social profile for evidence of those qualities.
- Adjust one conflicting line or example so it supports the same direction.
Worked example
Someone choosing “curious, reliable, analytical” uses project examples and wording that demonstrate those traits instead of merely listing them.
Check your output
- □ The three qualities are authentic and specific.
- □ Each platform contains evidence of them.
- □ The profiles feel connected without becoming identical.
