115: Why You Need A Career Narrative And How To Get One

Today we're talking about building a career narrative that we believe in and that is useful for the people who need to know about it.

In our conversation, we explore:

• The characteristics of a career narrative that will help you set your story apart
• The role evidence plays in the stories we tell about ourselves
• Why the career narrative isn't a monologue and how to create connection by keeping the narrative flexible

It turns out that the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off can highlight how, out of the picture you paint of your experience and learning, the people that we interact with will be drawn to different things about you. It's especially true for people that have experience across more than one industry or role that knowing the needs of the person we're talking to will help us define what's relevant.

Listen in to understand how to craft your answer to that "Tell me about yourself" question AND discover strategies that might get you excited about being asked.
