What makes a career narrative captivating?
If you're going to network, or you're going to interview for a job, you need a career narrative.
A career narrative helps you talk about your background well in a story that is unique, relevant, and interesting to all kinds of people on the other end of a conversation.
Are you missing the mark when someone says, “Tell me about yourself”?
Maybe you're simply rehashing your resume, or offering a chronological review of your life that is long, repetitive, and forgettable and fails to cover your real impact. Yet, we know the answer to this question can be the key to unlocking the next step for you!
This week, we're helping you build YOUR career narrative. This episode is about strategies to move away from reciting the obvious and move towards a narrative that reflects the best of you.
It turns out the movie, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, has a great analogy that illustrates how the people that you interact with will be looking for and drawn to different focal points of your story. It’s especially true for people that have experience across more than one industry or role that knowing the needs of the person we’re talking to will help us define what’s relevant.
Join us to talk through some of the common mistakes and best practices in creating a career narrative that works for you
