Finding “Your Spark”

A strong Professional Positioning is your most important weapon in the job market.

But what is it?

In a nutshell it’s the concise, carefully considered sentences and keywords that communicate what you want to be known for. They persuade others of your value as an employee. Some call it a value proposition, others personal branding. We call it your Professional Positioning. What matters most is the content; that it’s authentic, relevant factual and inspiring. These few meaningful sentences will take pride of place at the top of your resume. On your LinkedIn Profile you use the personal summary section to tell the same story in a far more engaging way.

Effectively communicating your Professional Positioning is a key driver of success in the job market because employers mainly want to know what you can do for them! Spending the time and effort to create a strong, compelling Professional Positioning is the most important step in any career transition. It is also an essential tool in the interview process as helps you to give potential employers a consistent message about what you will deliver on the job.

That’s why we won’t tackle a resume or a LinkedIn Profile without first creating a compelling, authentic Professional Profile for all our clients.

How do you work out what it is?

We believe that everyone has a unique spark, the personal attributes, skills and experience that make them successful in their IT career.

Once we have your Professional Positioning nailed we can either help guide you to “DIY” your resume and LinkedIn or write them for you.
