People Dont Know The Right Things About You
People Dont Know The Right Things About You Today I sent someone an email talking about a service Ive had for years, and she replied: Gosh, Jason, you have never told me about thisâ¦â¦ I have this problem because I have multiple revenue streams. My business is more complex than just offering one or two products/services. I bet you have the same problem: As a job seeker you start out wanting to be a ______. After the job search goes on, you decide you could really do ______ and ______. A month or two later you finally come to terms with doing _____ and ______ and ______. After six months you are fine to _____ and _____ and ______ and _____ and ______ and ______. Then you face a new problem. Someone who knew you from early in your job search only knew you as the guy/gal who could only ______. They didnt realize you had a number of other capabilities or interests. I did this in my job search. I started out looking for a project manager job, and then added business analyst. Eventually I add product manager, which was all very confusing to people who thought I was an IT Manager (past job title), or CIO (past job title), or VP (past job title), or General Manager (past job title). Some people thought I was a GM, others thought I was a PM. What do people think, or know, about you? Job seekers have this problem (Gosh, Jason, you have never told me about thisâ¦â¦). Happily employed people have this problem (Gosh, Jason, you have never told me about thisâ¦â¦). Companies have this problem (Gosh, Jason, you have never told me about thisâ¦â¦). Its a branding problem and it can take a number of things to help solve it. how are YOU solving it?
