There are a couple of things you can do to build that muscle as well \u2013 education, adding skills and learning new things. Even if it\u2019s not related to a work situation, you are adding to who you are and your expertise on some level. And once you start learning something new, your whole world sort of changes, your brain shifts. You become a beginner, and then you become knowledgeable, and it\u2019s this whole wonderful cycle. So value yourself. And, you can also go back and look at all performance reviews and see what the good things that people said about you, or talk to people who understand you and are familiar with the kind of work you do and the kind of person you are. And they\u2019ll tell you things about yourself that you\u2019re really good at, and don\u2019t feel stupid asking them. People will be happy to share this with you, but you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s stuff that you take for granted in yourself. And you don\u2019t even think about that. That\u2019s a value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>On Curiosity and Preparation<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to stay present. And I love the word&nbsp;<em>curious.<\/em>&nbsp;If you can slip that into some of your conversations, it subliminally tells the hiring manager that you are interested in learning new things. You are curious. So that\u2019s really a little secret ingredient, but there\u2019s so many great things that you need to do. But the most important thing is to really [prepare]. We have this ability now to research online the person who\u2019s going to be interviewing you. Really dig deep and learn about the company you\u2019re interviewing with, and the industry trends. Know as much as you can before you walk in the door about what is happening right now today and how what you know how to do can fill that gap for that employer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - http:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-small.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"small\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Are you &#039;In Control at 50+&#039;?\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Own the true value that you have.
