What's Your Story, Morning Glory? Building the Story For Job Seekers

What's Your Story, Morning Glory? Building the Story For Job Seekers | Just Story It | Scoop.it
And that's where you need to break down the bigger brand narrative into the smaller stories behind it that allow your audience to relate to your brand, to you (since you are the brand) and what you do.


This article is about personal branding -- as it relates to job seekers.  Want that job? Then you'd better learn to share your stories. But really, this is fabuloous advice for anyone's career, whether you are looking for work or not.


Most job seekers fail to tell their stories about the work they did and the results they produced.  They describe their tasks and sell their last job desciption.  Boring! Yeah, that will really help you get hired.


So what's a job seeker to do? Read this article for a primer on storytelling for job seekers, and the kinds of stories you need to develop and share. Next check out www.astoriedcareer.com for more resources.


Then go get 'em tiger!

The Power of Story in Business Analysis

The Power of Story in Business Analysis | Just Story It | Scoop.it

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before – you’re on a project that was thrust on your stakeholder groups from high above.  They were insufficiently consulted during the problem definition phase, and they are now questioning everything during implementation. These stakeholders can’t get the project to be outright cancelled, but they can cause it to be ultimately unsuccessful if they don’t commit to putting their time and energy into ensuring that the solution being developed is appropriately used.


Sound familiar? It sure does to me! 


So what is a leader, manager, consultant to do? Add stories into the mix.


I like this article because it directly addresses the difficulties of project management, enrolling people to your cause, and how stories can be one of the remedies applied.


The author includes 3 steps to shift the situation and get your projects back on track. If you are stuck -- read this. 


And if you consult with others, tuck this list in your back pocket to keep your clients & project on track.
