People are quitting left and right. But how can a full-time employee build a brand? Dear Readers, if you are ready to quit your job, now keep reading to find out how you can make the transition into the career of your dreams!
Welcome to new and returning readers to the Branding24seven community!
The JMS team is back with valuable insights that will inspire you to be fearless in the pursuit of your dreams. Dear Readers, if it’s your first time here, welcome, and thanks for stopping by the JMS blog. FYI, JMS is a consulting firm located in Philadelphia that advises people and companies to manage risk and avoid organizational or fiscal paralysis. To that end, the JMS team is in the business of designing recovery plans as robust as possible that avoid behavioral or productivity inertia.
Therefore, this blog will help you make sense of these unprecedented times without feeling devoid of motivation and utterly defeated. You, Dear Readers, can find your groove again as soon as you get a handle on a better approach to crisis management, thanks to a well-thought-out strategy that lays out how a full-time employee can use work experience to build a brand and find the path to the career of your dreams.
Millions of Americans are engaging in this Great Resignation we keep hearing about on legacy media. Are reports we hear from journalists misleading? Is it a risky move for a full-time employee to quit a conventional job and build a brand instead? In your many emails, Dear Readers, you’ve asked us to help you figure out how you can do the same. But is the grass greener on the other side? How can you transition into a new yet better position?
For a full-time employee to build a brand, make time to do a lot of research.
This blog insists that the only way to figure out the cost of changing course is to do loads of research, Dear Readers. You will have to spend some time analyzing a few things:
- Learn about alternative careers of interest;
- Make a pros & cons list to determine what fits your current priorities and goals;
- Find people in said alternative careers you want to emulate;
- Network and conduct informal interviews with said people;
- Volunteer to shadow said people to test drive said alternative careers.
Dear Readers, if you take the time to work through this hit list, you’ll gain self-confidence and eliminate the imposter syndrome before it rears its ugly head. Do you know a more effective way for a full-time employee to build a brand? Let us know below in the comment section or by email at jms@branding24seven.com.
You’ll have to map out the most relevant next steps to build the best brand possible.
Dear Readers, writing out the next steps is the best way to diagnose the qualifications you are bringing to the table. And, Dear Readers, if you find it challenging to identify transferrable skills, researching the following steps will highlight what you are missing. Spotting “gaps” in your resume is crucial if you are moving into a different industry.
Dear Readers, you want to be confident of what you bring to the table, “gaps” and all. In 2021, as the interminable pandemic continues to linger on, having “gaps” is no longer taboo or a career killer. But you’ll have a strategy in the way you present your resume. In short, you want to convince the prospective employer that your interests align squarely with the core values of the company you hope to join. Do you know a better way to let go of that fear paralyzing imposter syndrome? Let us know in the comments or via the contact form.
Fortune always favors the brave, especially when taking a leap and leaving the comfortable full-time position.
Isn’t this the truth, Dear Readers? If there is a single takeaway to take away, it should be that taking the risk can be rewarding. It does not matter how trying life has been over the last 18 months. It does not matter that you have been unemployed for more than a year. There is still time to turn things around.
And look, in October 2021, the job growth grew by 582,000 on average. There is no reason to despair, Dear Readers. You can move into a better and even higher-paying position. Don’t let fear hold your career hostage. Go after what you want without looking back!
