Your Job Title is Holding You Back And You Are Not Doing Anything About It

The only perk of a job title is the pay.

Everything else is all noise.

Job titles do not reflect what you are truly capable of doing.

Don’t let it limit your growth and hold you back.

It boxes you into a narrow role, slowing down your curiousity, and capping your career earnings.

If you are feeling stuck, it’s time to abort the job title non-sense.

Here’s what you gotta do:

1. Act like the role you want, not the one you have.
   
   Take on tasks, responsibilities, and projects that stretch you beyond your current role. Raise your hand for the stuff people don’t want to do.

2. Build a reputation beyond your title.
   
   Focus on the impact you are making. When you are introducing yourself, don’t just state your title.

3. Network with intention.
   
   I know I keep saying network but that is how you get ahead! Connect with people who hold the roles you aspire to have (or who are in positions to influence your career).
   

4. Propose new roles or responsibilities.
   
   Did I tell you I made my own role?
   

5. Rebrand yourself.
   
   Update your resume, LinkedIn profile, and how you introduce yourself in professional settings. Focus on your accomplishments, skills, and value you bring.

Your job title does not define you. Your actions do.

If you are feeling boxed in by a title that doesn’t match your ambitions, it is time to break free. Focus on your skills, impact and potential.

Your Turn,
