Whether you’re a recent graduate embarking on your first job-hunting adventure or a seasoned pro seeking a mid-career lane change, finding the right fit can be a confusing and stressful process. Through the long cycles of networking, researching and interviewing, it’s easy to lose sight of your own long game and where it is you will truly thrive.
While sticking to your home territory holds familiarity and lots of built-in appeal, it’s easy to overlook the possibilities that can open up when you consider a broader picture. How might your unique perspective and skills offer different value in a market outside the one in which they were developed? The difference may be dramatic. Because smart PR agencies know diversifying their specializations is key to their long-term growth and viability, hiring from outside their market can be strategically savvy. For example, a candidate from Seattle, well-versed in tech but struggling to compete in their home territory, could offer tremendous appeal for a firm seeking to expand its portfolio in a market with a burgeoning tech industry (such as Salt Lake City). Remember — back on Krypton, Superman would have been just another guy.
