Listen "Crafting Your Job Search Narrative (S2 - Ep9/20)"
Episode Synopsis
The Job Search Narrative is the story or pitch that you have when you are looking for a new position. The interesting part is that you don't have to be actively job searching to have a good job search narrative. This is similar to an elevator pitch, but more intentional. A job search narrative is more about the story you are telling about who you are as a professional and where you are headed in your career. It is the next level of depth past an elevator pitch to inform someone of your professional status. In this episode, I share my own experience of not having a good job search narrative that cost me positions and I share examples of what a good narrative sounds like and what an unprepared narrative sounds like. The components of the Job Search Narrative include: 1. Know where you are headed. 2. Know what makes you awesome. 3. Be prepared to talk about a big project or accomplishment in your career that support where you are headed.
