Tip: Brand Yourself & Ensure Consistent Identity
The only way to stand out in a competitive job market or be "heard" over all of the noise on social media is to create your own personal brand. As a People executive who loves building organizations' People function from scratch, I have branded myself as an Empologist. Empology is a term I coined to better describe what I consider the core of my role: studying employers and employees. Since I want to keep the Empologist branding tied to me, as opposed to being generalized, I did not change my social handles. Instead, I ensure consistent identity across all socials by having @tjwalkowski everywhere that I have "professional" content. This consistency ensures CEOs (potential employers), colleagues, and anyone interested in my thought leadership on the future of work can find me anywhere.
