👀Career Story Check-In: Are You Telling the Right Story?
In STEM, most professionals focus on collecting data, skills, and results — but forget that how you present them determines what opportunities come next.
Your career story isn’t a static summary of past jobs. It’s a living narrative that signals where you’re headed and why you’re ready for it. If your résumé, LinkedIn, or elevator pitch still describes who you were instead of who you’re becoming, it’s time for a check-in.
In a field driven by facts and results, narrative still shapes perception.
Hiring managers, collaborators, and mentors use your story to gauge fit, direction, and potential impact.
If your story doesn’t align with your next goal, even strong qualifications can go unnoticed.
3 Steps to Audit Your Career Story
Revisit your “why.”
What motivates your next move — curiosity, challenge, leadership, impact? Your story should express that purpose clearly.
Align your materials.
Your résumé, LinkedIn, and personal website should share one message: Here’s the kind of work I do best and want to do next.
Write your 3‑sentence narrative.
🔎Past: What shaped your expertise
🔎Present: What you do now and your focus
🔎Future: What’s next for you and why it matters
Example:
“I started as a data analyst fascinated by how insights drive better engineering decisions. Now, I lead cross‑functional analytics projects that help teams translate data into action. Next, I’m pursuing roles where I can combine analytics and strategy to shape smarter infrastructure systems.”
As your story evolves, so do your opportunities. Revisit it every few months — especially after a project, promotion, or shift in focus.
Weekly Challenge:
Write your 3‑sentence career story (past, present, future). Post it on LinkedIn or send it to a trusted peer for feedback. This small step can reveal how much your story — and your goals — have grown.
