Marcelo Rondon talks about the importance of building your personal brand. Creating your portfolio and opportunities by simply putting yourself out there. Get yourself noticed, he mentions. Use Wordpress or Vix and start publishing your work - and its FREE! Marcelo mentions his job opportunities came from social media and word of mouth. Show people who you are, what is your creative process and what you can develop for them. 

As a future university graduate, Marcelo Rondon also mentions how he modified his student resume to a professional resume and even though he hates to admit, Linkedin is a good source of recruitment! Meanwhile, do not forget to leverage on your network, get feedback from those experts around: friends, students, peers and professors! Give more than TAKE is the KEY here - build relationships that will ultimately allow you to build your credibility and expertise. Finally, stop talking and start doing - your personal brand, your professional portfolio. Thank you Marcelo for your advice!
