How to Create a Personal Brand as a Social Worker FT. Jennifer Luna

Harleny Vasquez Season 2 Episode 3

Do you know how to sell yourself as a Social Worker? During interviews, are you able to answer the question “tell me about yourself” confidently? If you said no to any of the above, then this is the episode for you. 

Today, I’ve brought on my friend and colleague Jennifer Luna to talk about how to create a Personal Brand as a Social Worker. 

During this episode we touched on various topics including:

  • What to do if you feel stuck in your role as a Social Worker
  • How to use “career moments” to highlight you as a professional Social Worker 
  • Why you should focus on building the right skill set at the beginning of your career before focusing on the population you serve
