Script

In job search, a value proposition describes the value a worker offers the employer to obtain should this employer chooses to hire this worker.

Depicting the process in the terms of marketing, workers offer their work for sale. Their work is the product that they sell on the job market. As any product mix, their work is a combination of several components.

First of all, the worker offers or shall offer the solutions that would answer the question what this worker is able to do, if this is an operations job, or what this worker is able to accomplish, if this is a project job.

Second, any solution is worthless without the delivery. Whether the worker is able to access the workplace? If the job assumes travels, would the worker be available? If the job is remote, how stable and fast is the Internet connection?

Finally, your job marketing tools such as your elevator pitch and résumé, as well as their delivery are essential components of the value proposition too.

Career Levels is the successor lectio.
