Crafting a Career Narrative for New Professionals
By: Heidi K. Gardner and Adam Zalisk
Abstract
Description: This note suggests an approach for developing an effective "career narrative"—a tool for packaging and sharing a professional's past achievements, long-term goals, and forward-looking needs through a compelling story. It focuses mostly on the ways junior professionals can leverage their career story, but also considers what role more senior mentors can—and should—play in cultivating and sharing juniors' career narratives.
