Creating and Managing a Personal Brand Calendar


Job searching today is a lot different than it was 20 years ago.

Maintaining a consistent personal brand can distinguish you from other candidates.

However, to stay consistent, it's crucial to have a plan.

Without a plan, it's easy to post randomly, resulting in missed opportunities.

This week, let's examine how a simple tool like a personal brand calendar can help you maintain a solid online presence.

Why Do You Need a Personal Brand Calendar?

As I previously mentioned, having a personal brand without a plan can result in missed opportunities.

Utilizing a calendar for your content can help you stay atop a recruiter's mind when searching for a job.

Calendars can help you:

  • Stay consistent - Daily posting keeps you active within your network
  • Reduce last-minute stress - You can eliminate anxiety if you know what to post.
  • Effectively showcase your knowledge - A regimented approach can help you share your knowledge.
  • Attract opportunities - Staying consistent can open new doors you never knew existed.

If you lack a plan for your brand, it's easy to get off track.

By having a plan, you can create a routine that actively boosts your brand in an impactful way.

Build a Branding Calendar in Five Easy Steps

This step doesn't need to be complicated.

Everyone can establish a structured brand calendar using a few simple steps.

Doing so will maintain your online presence and keep you consistent on a daily basis.

You can build your brand calendar by following these five easy steps:

  1. Choose a platform - LinkedIn is the most valuable platform for job seekers. You can also use Twitter/X or a blog site.
  2. Choose Your Themes—Define some topics that align with your goals, such as industry knowledge, job search advice, and more.
  3. Make a Schedule - Consistency is the differentiator. Start posting once or twice a week and adjust accordingly.
  4. Plan Your Content: Outline your posts for the week ahead using your Google calendar, spreadsheet, or Notion.
  5. Engage with Others - Post VALUE comments on others' posts to build relationships with them.

Consistency Differentiates Good and Great Brands

By consistently posting content, you can position yourself as a knowledgeable person in your field.

Recruiters love individuals who participate in industry discussions.

Posting consistently will demonstrate your knowledge, commitment, and reliability.

Employers love these qualities.

Building a personal brand calendar not only keeps you on track but also helps you present yourself positively to potential employers.
