Your career is your story.
You can craft it however you like.
As soon as you realise this, your career will open up in wonderful and exciting ways.
Your story doesn’t need to comply with arbitrary conventions.
Your story doesn’t have to be told chronologically.
Your story shouldn’t be told by someone else.
Just tell the version that best communicates your value or unlocks opportunities you really want.
This isn’t a work of fiction, and you mustn’t be fast and loose with the truth.
It’s the realisation that you can choose a million different ways to tell someone who you are and what you’re about.
So why not choose the version that best serves you?
