sales rep who successfully moved over to the marketing department. But, since your previous experience
tends to shape the opportunities available to you, how can you truly reinvent your career?
Dan Schawbel, a personal branding expert and New York Times bestselling author of Promote Yourself,
says its actually possible to reinvent yourself on a daily basis . It's an easier process than it has ever been

The online world is all about the law of attraction, he says. How you present yourself on social networks and
