Looking for a job? Getting ready to jump to another company? Ready to launch into a new career? Then make sure you read this article by Marcey Farrey.


I like this post -- because it has very good advice & tips for how to find a craft a few stories for your job interviews.


DO NOT describe your last position -- you are simply selling your job description. In no way does that convey YOUR VALUE to a potential employer.  What they really want to hear are stories about how you helped the company save time, money, effort, etc. or produced revenue. And they want to hear how you recovered from mistakes. And they want to know what you've learned from your experiences.


So use this article to start crafting your stories so you can stand out from all the other candidates!


For more on this topic, ready my colleague Katherine Hansen's book A Storied Career. I am not affiliated with Kat but it is the only resource out there and it's good.

Storyboarding – part 2: creating your own | Johnny Holland

Storyboarding – part 2: creating your own | Johnny Holland | Just Story It | Scoop.it
From johnnyholland.org - February 10, 2012 8:08 AM
When thinking about storyboarding, most people fixate on their ability — or perceived inability — to draw. What is far more important is working out the point you wish to make with your storyboard, and the actual story that will ...


Yes yes yes, one of the best techniques for crafting your business stories is to use storyboarding. But so many people feel intimidated by it.


As this how-to article demonstrates, it's not about art.  It's about getting your thoughts down in an easy to use format.


The secret to why this works? The job of the storyteller is to feed images to the listener.  Organizing and crafting your story first as a series of images makes telling the story super easy.


I often use a deck of 3x5 cards where I draw a stick figure or write a word. Then I can easily re-arrange them as I walk through the story out loud. It works like a charm.


And make sure to read Parts 1 and 3 (links are in the article) to get the whole story :)


So read this article and master storyboarding techniques. It's easy.  Try it, you'll like it!
