Why Cant I Find a Job? - (The Solution)
"You are a master of nothing.” 🤔
That was a professor’s statement after glancing at my resume in 2015, a time where I had been desperately seeking a job.
What I hadn’t realized back then was that in trying to present myself on paper as well rounded, I unknowingly made it impossible for recruiters and hiring managers to place me.
At first I resisted making changes to my resume because I distinctly remember feeling nervous to define myself as just one thing on paper (and pigeonhole my career).
Part of this sentiment was ingrained in me through school as I was taught that being well rounded is the desired end state that unlocks jobs.
And another part is simply human nature because we are all multi-faceted and it simply feels unnatural to place a single stake in the ground.
So If you are in the job market, the best advice I can give you is to showcase yourself as a master of something.
Remember that the job search process is just a game and the title you put on your resume isn’t the sum total of who you are.
