What Do You Want to Be Known For?
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter encourages you to figure out what you want to be known for professionally and start building your brand.
Hi, I’m Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter. I’m referred to to as The Big Game Hunter because I’ve been hunting down leaders and staff for organizations for more than 40 years.
So, when you see a a graphic of an apple, what company do you think of?
When you buy a box of detergent, have you ever looked at the list of ingredients to determine wheth- which group of chemicals is actually going to make your wash whiter? I doubt it.
We’re all influenced by brands. And when I’m going to speak to you about branding, branding isn’t going to be about this job search, but it’s going to be about the rest of your career, both in terms of how you’re seen at work and how you’re going to be seen at the job market. Because for you to develop a brand now is going to be, you know, it’s just not going to be effective, because you won’t have time to have created a space in people’s mind to accept it.
But it is so important for you, while you’re in this job search, to begin the process of branding, to identify for yourself what you want to be known for, what you want to do to help others or influence others, and how you want to be perceived as a professional.
So, for example, you know, I use the ti- know the phrase “The Big Game Hunter,” and it creates an impression in your mind about me as a recruiter. And I’m sure there are other people who’ve developed comparable things. I also have a tagline that says, “Helping the world find work, helping companies hire talent,” that basically defines what I do. Because whether it’s in my work as a headhunter or in my podcasts, my videos, or all the other things, that’s what I’m trying to do: help the world find work, help companies hire talent.
What can you be known for, and what do you want to be known for? What matters to your audience, and what can you be doing to communicate with them? This is not a one-minute conversation you have with yourself. This is something to spend time with and start thinking about in a very serious way, because otherwise you’re just another, you know, you know, stalk of corn out in the field waiting to be seen, noticed, plucked, and you know, to most people all that corn kind of looks alike. But if you can do something to stand out from the pack, you will have gone a long way to influencing how your career is shaped.
