Impactful career message brings the opportunity you want

By Tara Nguyen

One of my favorite session was the Impactful Career Messaging Brings The Opportunity You Want. I attended a lot of other session, but this session was the one that grab my fully attention throughout the session and the tips from the speaker inspired me Some of my favorite tips from session was:

1) Speak up! To get what you want and need, to be included in your social/work group. Especially speak up early! Even before the meeting to have your voice and let people get to know you.

2) Share your story! ( NOT PERSONAL STORY!!) Story of achievement! When others aware of your talents and ability they likely to connect you to the right opportunity.

3) Write your message in various format like elevator pitch or interview When you write your message by using the magic 4:

1. What you’re working on

2. What your role is

3 The impact you’re having

4. What you plan to do next

For me, this session taught me that don’t be scared or give up your voice when you’re at a new place. And what I think the most important tip that I learned was the Magic 4 technique. I was able to use it and practice it during the session and I think it helped my elevator pitch was a lot more engaging and very strong to show off my achievement and goals.
