Today's guest Muhammad Yasin, joins us to talk about how to unmask your true identity. Instead of focusing your energy on what you're NOT, he recommends focusing on what you ARE. He also provides some valuable insight on how to land your dream job and what it means to be authentic in today's society!
1:05 - Guest intro - Muhammad Yasin, a marketer obsessed with
problem solving and growth.
3:06 - Lunch therapy session - People wear a mask to hide their
true identity. Instead of focusing your energy on trying to be what
you’re not, increase your happiness by focusing on what you
are.
3:42 - An ah-ha moment - When this clicks, then you can start
working to become more authentic and to create space for those
around you.
4:35 - It’s not always black or white - there’s a lot of gray
space.
5:23 - To do vs. not to do - It’s just as much about what you
decide to do as what you decide not to do. Lean into the items that
fit with you and be good at what you're good
at.
6:10 - Find a company that fits you - The company doesn’t just
choose you. You get to choose the company as well. Do
your research before an interview so you know if you are a good
fit.
7:45 - Research! - In today’s world there are a lot of different
ways you can research companies prior to an interview. Drive
by, read reviews online, check out their website...etc. There
is always something available for you to find.
8:50 - We all wear masks - Learn to bring your mask down, but also
know you can control what you share in different spaces.
10:12 - Stand out from the crowd. Put your authentic self
into your work. That’s what makes you unique.
12:54 - Rock the interview - 60% of people do their research before
the interview, 2-5% do a deep dive. Do your research and don’t
start the interview by asking “What do you do?”
14:13 -Singular focus - Don’t try to be everything to
everyone. Have a singular focus on what you want to
accomplish.
16:02 - Be you - If you get hired you will work with your team day
in and day out. Be yourself during the interview and start
the relationship then and there to make sure it’s a good
fit.
