The trust, communication, competence, dedication and commerciality Melissa Tan brings to her job have earned her a reputation for having a “safe pair of hands” and a great work ethic. Tan’s supervisors and clients commend her innovative approach to solving legal problems, particularly the complex insurance matters she’s developed a successful track record in over the past year.
Tan advises other young professionals to start building their personal brand now. “Think about what it is you can bring to the table for your clients which differentiates you from others,” she says. “A good personal brand is key to building trust; earning the respect and recognition of your clients, colleagues and peers; and attracting opportunities. It will keep your career thriving.”
