Ines Temple heads the leading career transition and talent development firms in both Peru and Chile, LHH DBM Peru and Chile. She\u2019s accumulated a wealth of insightful tips to share about personal branding and employability. Her book, Usted S. A.<\/i> (You, Incorporated<\/i>), has been a bestseller in Peru and has recently been published in English. This is good news for English-language speakers who need informed advice about how to reach their professional aspirations in today\u2019s unstable working world.<\/p>\n

More so than in previous generations, today\u2019s businesses are in a constant state of flux. Temple makes the point that as today\u2019s companies constantly restructure and reorganize to adapt to rapidly changing markets, those in the workforce must also continually learn, adapt and reinvent ourselves to maintain our employability. She writes, \u201cThis new world requires us to completely and forever banish complacency.\u201d<\/p>\n

You, Incorporated<\/i> describes a formula for identifying our level of employability by recognizing what value we offer, and where we need to improve any limitations. We need to continually develop the skills needed in our professions before<\/i> we find ourselves in an unexpected job transition. We must stay current in our industry and study the job market even when we\u2019re not looking for a job. And, we have to continually quantify the value we add to our employer and clients and claim our achievements. Remaining persistently proactive in pursuing our career goals will help us stay ahead of the competition.<\/p>\n

Temple stresses the consideration that today\u2019s professionals need to pay to their digital identities. Personal branding needs to be given continuous attention and care. She warns that a stellar reputation can be toppled in an instant, and that we must be vigilant about remaining professional in both our personal dealings and our online presence. A good reputation is our best selling point. If we make a mistake along the way, it\u2019s important to make amends with humility and authenticity.<\/p>\n

Importantly, You, Incorporated<\/i> shares how to approach our careers as though we\u2019re the CEO, CFO, marketing director, head of sales and head of research in our corporation of one. By clearly defining our goals and working diligently at fulfilling them, we\u2019ll follow the career path that gives us professional and personal satisfaction \u2014 and position ourselves to weather any volatile business climate.<\/p>\n
