Are you indispensable to the company you work for? Sure, you might be brilliant at your job, but are you using your extra skills in order to create diverse value for your company and for yourself as an employee? This is easier than it sounds. Let’s say you work as a software programmer and you might be brilliant at what you do on daily a basis. But, there might be thousands of brilliant software programmers out there who can do your job.
How do you stand out in this crowd and make your job security concrete by becoming an indispensable resource to your employer?
According to Bayt.com’s Hatem Hannoun, you can do this by creating value in other areas not necessarily directly linked to your job. Not only does doing this mean that, in better or worse times, your job is more likely to be secure than others, but it also makes you a more well-rounded, skilled and valuable employee to both your current and prospective employers.
After all, you are not only your job role and you have more to offer than your degree and the skills you have listed on paper. You could be a brilliant public speaker, an amazing designer, a Photoshop pro, or any other number of things. It would be a waste not to capitalize on any additional talents you have. In this episode of Bayt.com’s Career Talk, you will learn exactly how to turn the skills you have shelved into corporate gold in just seven minutes.
