# Personal Brand
Personal brand is how you are known professionally: your skills, values, and the kind of work you do, as reflected in your resume, portfolio, and profiles. It is not about fame--it is about being consistent so hiring managers quickly understand what you offer.
## Deeper Context

For job search, align your resume summary, portfolio About section, and LinkedIn headline around one or two clear themes (for example, "frontend engineer focused on accessibility" or "B2B product designer, design systems"). Reinforce those themes in project descriptions and experience bullets. One URL that hosts portfolio and resume together makes it easier to keep messaging aligned when you apply or share your work.
