Personal Branding, CV Peer Review, and the Question That Matters Most

Tuesday, 17 March, was the day things got concrete. If the first two days built the foundation — getting to know each other, values, competencies, and theoretical frameworks — day three brought participants face-to-face with their own professional profile.

The morning opened with a CV peer-review session: participants assessed each other’s materials, exchanging direct, constructive feedback. An exercise that trains two essential competences at once — the ability to offer a genuinely useful critical perspective, and the courage to receive one.

The midday session was dedicated to personal branding — one of the most talked-about yet most frequently misunderstood concepts in youth career guidance. What does it really mean to know who you are in front of an employer? How do you build an authentic image, not just a polished surface?

The afternoon brought the central question of the day: What are you good at, and how can it create value for others? A session of deep reflection that connected personal competences with the real needs of the labour market — and showed participants how to guide young people in exactly this direction.
