The best career moves don't happen in panic mode. They happen when you're clear about the value you bring and steady in how you communicate it.
Whether you're actively job searching or showing up in your current role, the holidays give you something rare: time to get strategic. Hiring slows down between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but that doesn't mean you stop moving. It means you move with intention.
If you're job searching, keep applying and tapping into your network—someone in your contacts likely knows the hiring manager. If you're not looking right now, this is the perfect window to update your resume and get clear on how to speak about your impact.

Your 4-Minute Strategy
The 60-Second Value Articulation Template
Most people struggle to talk about their value because they're stuck reciting tasks instead of explaining outcomes. This template fixes that.
How to use it: Read it out loud once. Then answer it in your own words. That's the entire practice.
|
STEP 1: SET THE SCENE
"In my role, I pay attention to what is happening around me and where the team needs clarity or momentum."
|
|
STEP 2: STATE THE CONTRIBUTION
"Recently, I led or supported a project where my judgment and follow-through made a noticeable difference."
|
|
STEP 3: POINT TO THE RIPPLE EFFECT
"What changed because of my involvement was simple. The work moved faster, confusion dropped, and people were able to make clearer decisions."
|
|
STEP 4: CONNECT TO BUSINESS RELEVANCE
"That mattered because it improved either efficiency, retention, revenue protection, risk reduction, or the customer experience."
|
|
STEP 5: CLOSE WITH STEADY CONFIDENCE
"This is the type of value I bring. I create conditions where people can think, decide, and deliver with more clarity."
|
|
This is about performing speaking from evidence you already have. The phrasing guides your mind toward outcomes, judgment, and credibility. It also trains your nervous system to stay steady when talking about your work.

A quick reminder: I'm not a recruiter. I don't have insider info on these companies or their hiring timelines. What I do have is a commitment to helping people who are out of work find their next opportunity.
These links take you directly to the companies' career pages. Apply direct. And remember—your job search should be a mix of applying online and tapping into your network. Sometimes the person who gets you in the door isn't an algorithm, it's a conversation.
