What Is a “Career Story” and Why You Need One

 

1. Personal branding 의 시대. 

나의 퍼스널 브랜드는 무엇인지를 돌아보는, 그리고 앞으로의 브랜드를 정의하는 방법 중 하나로서의 커리어 스토리 

 

2. 어디서 부터 시작해야 할까?

Where Have You Been? Where Are You Now? Where Are You Going?

A great place to start when developing your career story is to think through these three questions. This chronological organization is the most common way to tell your story because it quickly creates a sensible order for the listener. Of course, the story you choose to tell is infinitely malleable, as long as it sticks to the facts.

 

시간 순서대로, 어떠한 일을 해왔고 지금은 무슨 일을 하고 있으며 어디로 가고 있는지를 적어보자.

 

3. 여기서 중요한 점

 

An essential element of your career story is a clear vision of your dream job. Take the time to really get serious with yourself about what you want. This is not about what people want to hear, it has to be about your authentic desire to bring your talent and passion to maximum impact in your vocation.

What is the Difference Between Career & Vocation? | Career | WorkAlpha

 

Vocation is an occupation that someone feels strongly about doing, despite monetary gain or other influences. Therefore, everyone’s vocation should be what they feel compelled to do because it gives a deeper meaning to life as well as added meaning within us. 

 

사실, 커리어 초반에 vocation 과 그 의미를 찾기는 어려운 것 같으나 계속 염두해 두고 그 의미를 끊임없이 찾아가는 것은 중요한 것 같다.

 

4. 각각의 단계에서 활용할 수 있는 이야기를 찾아 보자 

 

Include Anecdotes

When you meet someone that tells you a story about a time in their lives that changed their perspective, it tends to leave an impact. Short and relevant anecdotes are an excellent tool to use when developing your career story. They can also forge a personal connection that leaves a lasting impression.

 

5. 다음 단계에 맞는 job, role 에 맞게 이야기를 tailor 하자 

 

Tailor Your Narrative

Ideally, your career story identifies the jobs you are applying for as the next logical step in your professional trajectory.

As long as you are being honest, this is perfectly acceptable, and even desirable. The difference is usually a matter of emphasis.

 

6. 창의적인 방법으로 나를 어필하자 

 

Get Creative

You career story is a chance to express yourself and showcase some of your creative skills. For example, if you enjoy photography, a well curated slide show may be a way to help you develop your narrative. You may find that posting the slide show on your social media profiles is a great way to share your story with your professional network.
