Check out my conversation with Claire Harbour and Antoine Tirard on the Disrupt Your Career podcast. Key topic: stop thinking of yourself as an employee trying to get picked, and start thinking of yourself as a consultant bringing specific value to a client.
That may sound like a small change, but it is a huge reframe.
Start by defining your core value proposition, which I call your superpower. It’s your specific combination of skills, experience, perspective, values, and results that define what you deliver through your work.
Once you understand your superpower, lead with it in every conversation about your next move. Instead of trying to fit yourself into their definition of the job, base your job search on discovering which jobs map to your superpower.
Your success rate will soar. You’ll get more interviews. And you’ll greatly reduce the amount of time it takes you to find your next gig.
