Day 4: Stop Hiding Behind Your Title: Why What You Do Doesn’t Matter—It’s How You Do It

Are you hiding behind your job title? What if I told you that your title might be limiting the career opportunities you deserve?

Today on the Rx for Career Success Podcast, we’re addressing a common challenge for federal employees transitioning into new careers—how to stop letting your job title define your value. When I made my own career transition, I struggled at first. But once I started communicating my impact and results rather than just focusing on my title, I landed better roles. Federal employees often face the same challenge: you may have a title that doesn’t necessarily reflect the level of work you’ve been doing, and that can lead to undervaluing yourself. It’s time to break that cycle.

Here are the key takeaways from today’s episode:

▪️ Your job title doesn’t define your value—how you contribute does.

▪️ Focusing too much on your role limits your growth. Start emphasizing the impact you’ve made.

▪️ Learn how to communicate your achievements rather than just listing your position.

▪️ Shifting from “I do X” to “I solve Y” opens up new career opportunities.

▪️ The importance of focusing on results-driven outcomes and positioning yourself as someone who can solve problems in any industry.

Day 3: Your Skills Are Worth More Than You Think (Stop Underselling Yourself)

When I transitioned from the military to a private-sector career, I definitely had trouble translating my skills. I knew I had a lot to offer, but I struggled to communicate it in a way that made sense to employers outside of the military. As a federal employee, you might be facing the same challenge. You have valuable skills, but it can be tough to showcase them in a way that resonates with private-sector employers.

That’s why today’s episode of the Rx for Career Success Podcast is all about helping YOU understand that your federal experience is more valuable than you think—and how to effectively communicate your skills to potential employers in private-sector roles.

Here’s the thing: It’s not about your title—it’s about the impact you’ve made. When applying for private-sector roles, you might be undervaluing your federal skills without even realizing it. Federal experience is incredibly transferable, you just need to position it correctly.

In today’s episode, we cover:

How to translate your federal skills to private-sector roles by focusing on outcomes, not just duties.

Identifying transferable skills that are in high demand in the private sector, from leadership to project management.

How to stop downplaying your experience and highlight the results-driven impact you’ve made in your federal role.

The importance of developing confidence in your skills and advocating for your worth in interviews and on your resume.

When I stopped focusing on titles and started emphasizing the impact of my work, I saw everything change. Your federal experience is valuable—don’t sell yourself short!
