Become an agent of change

How can you land that job you are looking for or feel more secure in the one you are in? Become an agent of change. Changes in the workplace, as in society occur constantly and employers are looking for people who are able to meet this demand. To feel and possibly be more secure in your current position, prove yourself to be an invaluable employee whose flexibility allows them to adjust in their responsibilities as needed.


How then do you relay this quality effectively on a resume or in an interview? First, quantify or qualify your experience managing change. Think about what you have done in your current or previous position that demonstrates your ability and willingness to change. Be prepared to explain what you have done to initiate positive change in your environment. Adaptability is one of the transferable skills you should include in you repertoire in order to market yourself effectively.
