Love Your Career Podcast? Let us know!Your Pitch.  Who are you and what have you got to offer? Approaching anyone regarding a job without knowing how to position yourself will waste your time and theirs.Strategise your approach and know what outcome you wish for.

No one can help you if you are unclear with your messaging.Most of my clients have told me that creating their introductory positioning statement is the hardest part of the job-search process. Why? Because most of us feel uncomfortable talking about ourselves when looking for a job. Many of my clients have told me that they don’t want to sell themselves, they feel awkward and they don’t like ‘big noting’ themselves. What about you? If you feel reluctance, too, all I can say is that if you don’t express yourself clearly and let a potential hiring manager know what a great candidate you are, you won’t get very far
