Be Authentic and Go Digital
Gen Z naturally thrives online, and that is where your personal brand begins. Use platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, or TikTok to share what you are passionate about and showcase your work. A young creative could post design samples, while a budding entrepreneur might share short tips or reflections on their business journey. What matters most is being genuine. Let people see your real story, not a polished version of someone you think they want to meet. Authenticity always attracts the right opportunities.

Lead With Purpose and Values
This generation is deeply driven by purpose. Whether it is climate action, mental health awareness, or youth empowerment, let your values guide your brand. Show how your beliefs connect to your professional goals. Employers increasingly want people who bring heart and meaning to their work, not just technical skills.

Think Beyond the Paper
A résumé can tell employers what you have done, but your personal brand shows who you are becoming. It is your story, your voice, and your promise to the world. It is what makes you memorable long after someone has read your CV.

In Eswatini, where many young people are competing for the same opportunities, your personal brand can be your edge. It is proof that you know your worth and can communicate it with confidence.
