Learning to Tell Others About What You Do

By: Chiemeziem Wisdom Irondi

As tired as I was after work today, I decided to go on and visit someone. 

I didn't get the chance to do that directly from my work place, so I had to go home until I got a call from the person I needed to see. 

I was meeting her for the first time and it was a nice time. We talked about a lot of things ranging from my job, her job, how we enjoyed our different professions and how beautiful it was to work in the Federal Civil Service. Oh, yes, she is a Civil Servant. 

It was getting late and I needed to be on my way but then, I had a strong urge to tell her about what I do apart from my regular job. 

I told her that I'm a blogger, a content writer, a copy writer and a social media manager and she was surprised obviously.

She asked if I really enjoyed what I do and my response was affirmative. 

She told me that she had the contact of one of the state commissioners and that she will convince him to hire me as part of his team.  And she said, "You can count on me"

What if I didn't blow my own trumpet? 

Sometimes, your help is in your willingness to tell people about what you do. This goes a long way in setting you up for jobs.

What are some of the reasons you should tell people about what you do?

1. It positions you for referrals 

2. It shows how confident and proud you are about what you do

3. It means you're open to work 

4. It increases your popularity

Learn to be your own fan first. If you can't tell others about what you do, who will?
