The world is rarely interested in knowing whatever you did that was operational. “I created and presented weekly reports at the company” may be useful in a limited context but the value of that work is limited and short-lived.
What the world is really interested in is:
- What did you create that’s worth talking about?
- How did you get to the point of creating that?
- What did you overcome?
- How did your creation make a difference to others?
- What’s your story?
Your job as a “learner” is to focus your energy on a purpose worth fighting for, create meaningful work that makes a difference to others over long period of time and solves a real problem that people are willing to pay for.
Is it easy? NO. Is it worthwhile and satisfying? Definitely.
