Hello !

 

Consider that when you have thoughts about leaving your job, or advancing to a more senior role, YOU TAKE YOURSELF WITH YOU.

 

What is it that you know to be true about yourself and how can you create relevance for hiring managers and to your network?

 

You must network strategically and know the value you can offer.  

 

WHY NETWORKING?  Because 70% of jobs are never published publicly and networking provides you with the first "foot in the door".

 

WHY VALUE PROPOSITION?  BECAUSE YOU ASK EMPLOYERS:  "Invest in me" but are you convincing them why you are a good investment?  You have to be prepared and know how to deliver that information!

 

Most likely, you are the best hiring decision they can make which is why being ready to articulate how you can make an impact in their organization, including stories that convince them you've done it and have succeeded before.

 

Thinking about the answer at an interview can be too late.

 

 

"Not surprisingly, for every manager who instinctively constructs and maintains a useful network, we see several who struggle to overcome this innate resistance. Yet the alternative to networking is to fail—either in reaching for a leadership position or in succeeding at it."  EXCERPT from Harvard Business Review:  How Leaders Create and use Networks
