As a GIS Analyst, it’s important to develop a personal brand to showcase your skills and expertise in the field. A strong personal brand can help differentiate you from other GIS professionals and make you more attractive to potential employers or clients.
One way to develop your personal brand is to create a portfolio of your work. This can include maps, reports, and other projects that highlight your capabilities as a GIS Analyst. A well-crafted portfolio can provide potential employers or clients with a clear idea of your skills and experience and can help you stand out in a competitive job market. I host an annual portfolio challenge to help you create and improve your portfolio!
Another useful tool for developing your personal brand is LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a professional networking site that allows you to connect with other GIS professionals and share your work. By creating a LinkedIn profile and regularly posting updates about your work and accomplishments, you can build a professional network and showcase your expertise to a wider audience. Through my LinkedIn presence, I have gotten great feedback on the maps that I have created and I have also established expertise in the field.
