Career Development: Should I brand my name even though I already work for a well-recognized brand?

Joy Broto Nath , Global Corporate Trainer & Strategist answered:

Big companies have big numbers to hit. Learning about these realities early in your career will not only better prepare you for the corporate world in the future, but it can also be a useful learning experience if you plan to someday go on to start their own companies. You have the advantage of being part of a large network of current and former employees, whom you can easily connect with previous and current employees on social platforms like LinkedIn or Twitter. While it is not always the case, employees at large, name-brand companies often have awfully specific job functions. If you do take a role at a big company, make sure that you have clear goals for your next career transition.
Working for a name brand can certainly open new doors and help move your career along. But other factors are more important in the end, says Lynda Spiegel, HR professional and founder of Rising Star Resumes. The best company for one person may look a whole lot different for another person. The stronger your resume is, the more likely a hiring manager will want to interview you for the job, whether they work for a huge company or a small one.
