You're Not Nutella!
You can't make everyone happy.
The biggest request I get is to review resumes.
It's like asking a chef to review the table setting.
You can always tweak and make it more pretty, but it's what's on the plate that matters.
The truth is that career seekers are hoping to appeal to everyone with their resumes.
Some will even create 3/4 variations.
But here's the thing: no one else has your exact blend of skills, passions, and experiences.
When you take the time to rediscover what sets you apart, it lights you up from the inside.
And that inner glow will make you stand out from the interview pack.
I get it – talking about yourself can feel awkward or boastful. But think of tapping into your uniqueness less as bragging and more as sharing your special sauce.
The unique value you offer is what recruiters want to know and precisely what drives you and makes you tick so they can assess your fit.
What is the easiest way to share your uniqueness?
By sharing your vision and specific achievements that provide a window into your approach.
Don't just say you're innovative; talk about how you came up with a creative solution to a tricky problem.
This shows, not just tells, what you're all about.
So, I invite you to take a moment to get inspired before your next interview:
What uncommon perspectives do you bring from your eclectic background?
How does your distinct personality shine through in your work?
What unconventional passions set your soul on fire?
Getting centered on your uniqueness will help you express your truest, most vibrant self when it matters most.
Success loves authenticity – so be your wildly one-of-a-kind self. I can't wait to hear how it goes!
Here's what a recent client shared.
"Agate's one-of-a-kind blend of unapologetic brut American determination and charming French flair led to an insightful self-examination that helped me identify and articulate my unique talents and value to recruiters."
He is neither French nor American, but he seemed to have enjoyed the combo.
Let me know your flavor - better acquired taste than meh!
