Ways to promote myself

There are multiple ways to promote myself when looking for a job or for other opportunities. Some methods are better than others. One way could be describing yourself, who you are, your career goals, and what you skills you possess that could potentially benefit the employer. Volunteering is a great way of showing previous experience and shows your employer your dedication to develop on your career journey. Volunteering could be an internship within your profession or other ways, for example charities. 

Social media plays a huge role nowadays, it is the perfect place to build your brand. This is a great way to promote yourself in a professional manner which appeals to employers. You can create a portfolio and even a website to show employers why they should hire you and what skills you carry. Its also important to show some character and display who you are as an individual. Linkedin is the most popular social media platform for displaying any achievements or skills gathered.
