Adopt the "Next Role" Mindset

Stop waiting for a new title to start acting like a leader. Career readiness isn't about updating your old role; it's about preparing for the next one.

Your Tip: Identify the job you want after your next move (your two-year goal). Then, look at the skills and results required for that future role. Start integrating that high-level language into your current resume and daily work. By using a "Next Role" Mindset, you signal to recruiters and hiring managers that you're already operating at the strategic level they need, making your promotion—or external hire—the logical next step.
