We want everyone to see January's Just Ask Julia! Work your present to prepare for your future career goals. This just could be the most valuable 27 minutes you will give your career this year.
Julia covers:
Know who needs you - this is the "About" section of your LinkedIn profile. What do you do differently, how do you stand out against the competition. Know how to articulate that.
What does the future hold- getting where you want to go. Where do you see yourself in 1 year, 3 years. What is your next- next?
Advocating for yourself - Let people know what you want! does your manager talk to you about where you want to go, where you want to be? If not, then you have to be the one that takes that on and be vocal! Keep your eye on the market also - in 2023 California and New York have to post salary in job descriptions, know what your worth is out there.
Advocating for others - It's not all about you, it's about others around you. Live this, be this - High Tides Raise All Ships. Executives look for people who believe this is important.
Go For It! Make sure you are clear on what you are talking about, be specific about what you want. Don't apologize! Know your successes, know your story.
And finally, most importantly, and we can't say this enough - Tamp down your inner critic. Confidence is key!
