For Aspiring Web Industry Professionals and Young Freelance Creators! May 20 (Wed) Free Seminar: "What is Your Value to Be Chosen? - Reconsidering Self-Analysis and Self-Branding"

Creek & River Co. (C&R Co.) will hold a free online seminar on May 20 (Wednesday), titled "What is Your Value to Be Chosen? - Reconsidering Self-Analysis and Self-Branding," targeting individuals aiming to enter the Web industry with no prior experience, and young creators considering a future as freelancers.

This seminar will deeply explore "yourself" with the themes of "self-analysis" and "self-branding," which are essential for considering future career paths. In an era overflowing with opportunities for information dissemination, where anyone can call themselves a "creator," the ability to articulate "why you are chosen" and "why your existence is irreplaceable" is crucial for building a career.

Therefore, this seminar will primarily cover the following topics: - The fundamental relationship between strengths, weaknesses, and passions - Why what you love does not always lead to "value provision" - The idea that experiences such as pain, joy, and conflict themselves become the "source of branding" - The perspective to understand your aptitudes and identify where to place your value in the market

We will systematically organize the basics of self-analysis and self-branding necessary for creators to grow into "chosen individuals."

We encourage anyone who wants to build a foundation for becoming a "chosen creator" while organizing the basics of self-analysis and self-branding to participate.

<Recommended for> - Inexperienced individuals aiming for the Web or IT industry, or creators in the early stages of their career - Those considering becoming a freelancer someday - Those who want to articulate their strengths, characteristics, and value - Those who want to find a core principle to become a "chosen professional" - Those who have difficulty organizing their passions/strengths and weaknesses
