Before you start thinking about changing careers or looking for a new job, nailing down your?Personal Value Statement?is critical.
Your “PVS” is a brief statement about the?value?you provide as a professional. It's a combination of your transferrable skills, strengths, and expertise.
Your?Personal Value Statement is how you articulate your?value?in interviews and networking conversations.
When a manager starts an interview with, “Tell me about yourself,” most candidates just recite their resume and ramble on about their experience.
You're missing an opportunity to make a good first impression when you start an interview like that. Your interviewer will already be thinking about their next meeting, and the rest of the conversation will be an uphill struggle to get them excited about hiring you.
However, if you explain clearly and confidently the value you will bring to them and their organization, you’ll start strong, setting the tone for the rest of the interview.
So, how do you craft your PVS? Let’s dive into how you can effectively convey your skills, experience, and value to anyone you meet along your career change journey.

1 年The PVS template in the newsletter gave me a lot to think about for my own job search. I've been the hiring manager before and had candidates re-quote their CV and I was thinking I want to know something different or more than what's on the paper. I've got some work to do on my personal elevator pitch to really make it impactful. Thanks for sharing Yuji Higashi!
