Answering the Question:I am a [what?]
The key to establishing a successful job search is being able to easily say to
complete strangers:
“I am a [something] who [does something] to/for [someone].”

The Challenge
• Most people identify themselves as titles:– I am the VP of Sales for…– I am the Shipping Manager for …
• Titles set expectations for responsibility and salary
• Separating yourself from responsibility and salary in order to focus on abilities and desires is not easy.

The Reward
• Understanding who you are, as opposed to what you did, establishes a focus for your search.
• Understanding who you are not, stops you from pursuing jobs you will just say no to anyway.
• Understanding who you are helps you to be open to opportunities you might otherwise overlook.
