Season #1

Show Notes

In Part 2, Racquel Moses focuses on highlighting your unique impact in each role, not just performing as per your job description.

  • Approach each new role with a mindset of measurable improvement from day one
  • Aim to advance from entry to mid-level positions within two years
  • Track your time meticulously to understand how you're contributing to business goals
  • Think like a CEO of your own career, prioritizing high-value activities
  • Utilize AI tools to streamline low-value tasks and increase productivity

Career Advancement Strategies

Align your KPIs with overall business goals

Regularly evaluate and communicate your impact on the business

Be prepared to discuss how you've improved efficiency or sales in your roles

Use time tracking to identify and reduce low-value activities

Resume Building Tips

  • Highlight measurable impacts and achievements rather than basic job duties
  • Quantify your contributions (e.g., "increased efficiency by 20%")
  • Focus on how you've uniquely contributed to each role

Notable Quotes

"You are the CEO of you.com... You have to think about it in that way." Racquel Moses

"Women on the rise, do not try to get stuck in middle to entry-level positions for more than two years. Two years is enough to prove your worth and to do something, accomplish something that can allow you to get to the next level."  Racquel Moses

"You start thinking about, you scan your environment and think about what can I bring to this role that I can measure and defend? That I was able to do differently from anybody else."  Racquel Moses
