How to create a reputation for yourself
In a very competitive world where resources are scarce and opportunities are too little, being able to stand out will get you further ahead.
Create a signature for yourself: I go to a very small undergrad school so I tend to cross paths with the same students/professors which makes me easily recognizable. My signature is that I sit at the front row of every class. Professor A came to my class to give a quick lecture on the importance of globalization in professor B's class (both are my professors) and they both joked about how I always sit at the front which makes it easy to spot me. I also ask questions, give commentaries, or say my observations. In that situation I am building the reputation of an engaged student even though I may not be the smartest one in the room and that helps to get recommendation letters from professors
Build networks with others: People make the mistake of thinking that networking is only with employers and that is so wrong. Being able to have conversations about your major, your background and your hobbies makes it easier to form connections with successful students. I may be competitive in class but outside of class I am forming study groups, workout groups, career groups because I know this is one of the best ways to build relationships thereby create a reputation for myself. My colleagues are presidents of clubs and sometimes they are the ones who interview me for leadership positions and because they can tell by my performance in and out of the classroom, I am easily favored.
Take advantage of any opportunity to lead: Agree to work on the project, agree to do the presentation, agree to speak for the class if no one else has the confidence to do so. In that way, you are building confidence and a strong reputation with your professors and students. This happened to me last week, no one in class stood up to make a presentation to our guest speaker on the current project we were working on. So, I stood up afraid and I went to the front and pushed through it. Even though I felt I did not do my best, I got recognized by the guest and he asked that I sent my resume for opportunities in his company. Do it afraid and build that reputation for yourself. You'd be surprised by who's watching.
Thanks!
