Thanks again for participating in our Career Branding Quiz.

Successful career branding is the result of an integrated communications plan that clearly identifies and differentiates your personal brand from your competition in a way that is credible, memorable, and distinctive.

To be successful in developing and communicating your career brand, you need clear mission and vision statements, a powerful resume or CV, a results-driven portfolio, a professional online presence, and a powerful network of contacts who know your brand value and can communicate it.

In other words, you need all 22 elements of the quiz to have a successful career brand.

Scoring:

Give yourself 1 point for every 'true' response, and 0 points for every 'don't know' response, and -1 point for every 'false' response.

19-22 pts. -- Congratulations, the value of your brand is superior (or close to it). You understand the importance of personal branding and have implemented a great strategy.

15-18 pts. -- You are on your way to making your personal brand highly valued, but are missing some key elements that must be implemented to improve your brand.

11-14 pts. -- You certainly understand some of the key elements and components of personal branding, but need to tackle a number of key strategies to fully develop your brand.

Under 11 pts. -- Your personal brand is either weak or underdeveloped. Use the branding resources we offer on Quintessential Careers to develop your brand and then take this quiz again.
