Hello !
This is how to set yourself apart iin your career search: Know your value.
Are you willing to think about and write down what you have accomplished in your career and how you have impacted the companies you've worked for?
Grab our worksheet to begin.
Even the most successful salespeople I've spoken with are challenged by selling themselves. The thought of bragging can get in the way as well as not even thinking about our "accomplishments"!
If you want to advance your position and compensation, your VALUE to organizations needs to grow as well. If you're not in touch with what you can offer and willing to market it.... then, who will?
When you define your value statements and can present them confidently, then marketing yourself will feel less like bragging and more of a natural way to communicate in your:
Resumes
Online Profiles
Business Conversations
Interviews
Job Negotiations for offers that may exceed your expectations
There are 2 ways to tell your value stories without feeling like you're bragging: Qualitatively OR Quantitatively
QUANTITATIVE OUTCOMES: USE DOLLARS OR PERCENTAGES
Quantify your achievements through statements of how you saved $ or increased $, caused growth or decreased operational expenses.
QUALITATIVE OUTCOMES: DESCRIBE THE IMPACT OF YOUR WORK
What were the positive outcomes resulting from your efforts without a mention of dollars, such as "improved customer service" or "generated new product
revenue"?
