EP86: Designing Your Career Story: Strategies for Connecting with Employers, Networking, & Interviewing
We all have a unique story to tell. One filled with adventures, successes, failures, challenges, lessons, and inspiration that have led us to the road we are on today.
Today is when you get to tell the story about you and your career. The journey that has built your competencies, skills, experiences, and expertise.
To design your career story is much like your elevator pitch. It's part of the brand you're creating for the world. There are of course different versions based on the audience you're speaking to or seeking to attract.
You need to decide a few things: who am I telling the story to?
No matter the place, occasion or audience, you are front and center.
To help you develop a design you want really think of how you tell a story
Each part is connected. keep it brief, concise, honest and personal.
You want to share and create an experience that your audience can develop a connection to. share enough to keep their attention and don't make it more than 2 mins.
Here's what to do for each part:
Beginning:
Share what you've been doing, how you got there and what interested you in the field or industry.
Middle:
What's going on today? Provide some detail on accomplishment while keeping brief. share moments that are key successes thus far.
End:
What's next? What's your next move/chapter?
This is where you should be bringing all the points together to help your audience understand what they should take away from speaking to you. If you're interviewing, why are
you the most qualified candidate Define some next steps that can lead to future conversations
To summarize
know your audience, share your passion and what you want them to know about you
Challenge yourself to speak your truth and tell the story you want people to know and hear.
Remember this is going to help you in the long run. Practicing this will make you feel more comfortable each time.
