Storytelling for Executive Job Search Success - Executive Career Brandâ„¢

Storytelling for Executive Job Search Success Seven years ago Quintessential Careers, a leading online career site, innovated Job Action Day to help all job-seekers and workers take stock of their situations, and make plans and/or take action steps to improve their careers. This year, celebrated on November 3rd, Job Action Day is all about empowering job seekers to use storytelling for career success. Dr. Randall Hansen, publisher and CEO of Quintessential Careers, said that storytelling in job search is a powerful tool “Because people remember stories. That’s why job-seekers need a consistent narrative, backed by accomplishment stories.” He believes that many job seekers either present an inconsistent message or bore hiring managers with a litany of facts and figures. On the other hand, when they tell stories to illuminate top contributions and achievements, their unique value is more apparent than competitors who don’t employ storytelling. They become more memorable as candidates, as they network and interview for jobs. My contribution to Job Action Day this year is What’s Your Career Brand Story?
