18．People are seeking for opportunities that will assist them in reaching their goals．Marketing yourself is when there is a demand for you and your services that will help you achieve your goals．Though when people talk about marketing，they usually think that this is about producing a sale．But，it does not necessarily have to be．
If you are an employee then you want your boss to take your ideas，and if you are on a job hunting then you want to find a good position．So in reality，marketing really leads to sale．Therefore，marketing yourself means you are simply"selling"yourself!
The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is unpleasant to market themselves．They think that marketing concerns only to a business．Of course，this is absolutely not true．People who want to attain the success they desire must promote themselves．
Marketing yourself is a useful tool．The better you market yourself，the more opportunities you will have．Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are．It means letting your prospective employer know that you exist or you can do something better．
There are actually several different ways of marketing yourself．But there are only two primary approaches that you carry out．The first is to find ways to reach out to others and the second is to construct ways in order for the people to find you and make connection with you．
To reach out and touch the lives of others，you have to be a good person and a good employee．In that way your good reputation will follow naturally．Have a brief and concise message that you can share with others．When you market yourself，you tell people who you are and what you can do for others．Plan well and practice your message．
In constructing ways for the people to notice and make connection with you，you must be open to them．Communication is a great opportunity to make an impact especially when you market yourself．You also communicate by what you are wearing．Know the appropriate dress code and have plenty of time to decide what you will wear．Just remember to make a great first impression!
