Uncover the Jewels in Your Career
Your career is like a diamond mine—hidden within are career jewels that reveal your professional brilliance. The depth of the mine reflects the length of your career, while the size and quality of your diamonds depend on your:
- Level of responsibility
- Solutions delivered
- Results gained
- Costs saved
- Processes improved
- Timelines met
Learning to view your career through the eyes of a jeweler allows you to dig up these jewels and display them to attract top-tier talent buyers who are hard to impress.
The sparks are your accomplishments and results. The display is your personal value proposition (PVP).
Calculating Your Personal Value Proposition (PVP)
A Personal Value Proposition (PVP) captures the results, contributions, and impacts you’ve made as an executive. It measures your value relative to the challenges you overcame.
To uncover your PVP, ask yourself:
- How did you directly or indirectly impact the company’s bottom line?
- Did you increase efficiency, lead projects, enhance revenue, reduce costs, or improve customer service?
- How do your contributions justify your salary, showing that you deliver more value than you cost?
Example:
- Salary: $50,000/year
- Five-time PVP: $250,000 worth of value delivered annually
A high PVP positions you as an executive whose contributions far exceed their cost, making you a Top 2% candidate.
Key Questions to Uncover Your Executive Value
To analyze your PVP, consider the following areas:
Financial & Strategic Impact
- P&L responsibilities
- Return on Investment (ROI)
- Year-to-Date Comparables (Y.T.D.s)
- Business cases
Operational Excellence & Infrastructure
- Systems upgrades and migrations
- Efficiencies and process improvements
- Organizational structure impact
- Revenue growth initiatives
Leadership & Management
- Team leadership, mentoring, and development
- Hiring and firing practices
- Strategic initiatives and big-picture planning
- Change management and start-ups
Project Management & Negotiation
- Project execution, budgeting, and timeline management
- Negotiation and deal-making
- Start-up launches and cross-functional initiatives
These questions help you uncover hidden gems in your career and translate them into executive resume impact statements that impress recruiters and decision-makers.
