大部分人認為失業是經濟不景氣造成的。但很少人會回頭來看看自己的因素佔有多少?以下五點幫助你檢視自己市場價值。
1. 問自己，我會雇用自己嗎? Would you hire you?
If the answer isn't a resounding and deeply resonating” Yes”, then it's time to step into the corner office of your life and start making some savvy business changes at the top.
假使你的回答是肯定的Yes。 恭喜你，是時候為自己準備一間總裁辦公室了。
2. 找出自己的賣點Unique selling proposition
As a job seeker, the more creatively and meaningfully you can define yourself as a personal brand, the more attractive and effective you will be at securing your chosen professional position. It isn't about being different. It's about making a difference.
假使第一點的回答你不那麼確定，那麼建立個人品牌可以幫助你錄取喜歡的職缺。但切記不像商品獨特就好，老闆重視的是你是否可以為公司帶來改變。
3. 知道自己能貢獻什麼 Know your mission
The key to creating a successful mission statement is to realize that it isn't just about you, but rather it's tailored around how you intend to be of value to a given organization or even the world at large.
大部分人在這點的問題是太好高騖遠。別只想著自己，想想你對公司或是世界能夠貢獻的。
4. 注意形象 Pay attention to your packaging
Your personal brand isn't just about how you see yourself; it's also about how others see you. 70 percent of recruiters have reported finding digital deal breakers with candidates they were considering.
不只外在的形象需要維護，甚至網路上的一舉一動也需要注意。70% 的招募者提到他們曾經在網路上發現不利他們正在考慮錄取人選的資訊。
5. 有創意Get creative
Look beyond the same old networking scenes and search engines everyone is using. How else might you get your message out there?
想想除了每個人都會用的搜尋引擎外，還有什麼方式讓你可以被市場看見。
