You're So Much More Than Your Job Title - You're Awesome!

Having started work around a month ago, I've started to pick up on something rather interesting. I'm no longer referred to as a 'blogger' or at best, a 'blogging advice center' - I've become my job title. I've become a 'checkout operator'. A 'till assistant' at it's worst. I'm one the lucky young 20-somethings who've gone from being unemployed to reaping the benefits of my hard work, but I am so much more than just my job title, and the same goes for you.

When you introduce yourself to new people, what do you refer to yourself as? How do you market yourself as a person? How do you shine a light on your talents, your skills, your profession? How do you make you stand out from all the other people doing the same job as you're doing? It's really rather simple. You sell yourself.


Now, I'm not recommended you become a prostitute or a stripper, these are professions I know nothing about, nor would want to become a member of, but you do have to sell yourself in mind, not in body. You are awesome. You can do so much more than your job title says you can do. You have so many great, important skills under your belt that your job title just doesn't even begin to cover. If you want to become more than just your job title, you've got to own it.
