The art of narrating your career
Career Telling is a specific form of storytelling used in self-marketing. Unlike short success stories, it focuses on your entire professional path – typically in response to the classic interview question: «Tell me about your career». At its core is the STAR method: Situation, Task, Action, Result. By describing key moments and how you handled them, you help your listeners visualize your skills in action – revealing your strengths in a vivid and memorable way.
Meaning emerges in hindsight
A strong career story is curated – not every detail matters. The aim is to create a clear thread, a sense of coherence, even if your journey was shaped by chance. Career Telling brings structure and builds confidence: You recognize what you’ve achieved and how your experiences connect. This is not just helpful for job interviews but also for personal and professional assessments and transitions.
