Self-promotion is an integral part of career success, and the first and most important product you need to learn how to market is yourself. You are a brand, and your ability to communicate your brand effectively to potential employers for internships and entry-level jobs in your field of study is an essential workplace skill.
Review the Topic 7 Resources and use what you have learned about the key elements of branding and brand management (such as purpose, positioning, promise, personality and values, and brand expression) to construct a one-page resume and a one-page cover letter that capitalize on you as a unique brand that you want to sell to potential employers.
