Last summer, I watched the UK version of Love Island religiously. The anticipation for the newest episode got me through the work day--I would practically run into my apartment from the car to put it on.
As trashy and as unrealistic the show was, however, one of the contestant’s mottos echos through my brain, especially in this intimidating job market.
“I am the prize.”
You are. You are the prize. In a world full of automated rejections, even when you fit the job description perfectly, you are the prize. Maybe you resonate with the idea of being “a diamond in the rough”, but, regardless, you are a valuable asset to any team.
It sounds cliche—and maybe it is—but it is trite because it’s true. Your unique personality, skills, and strengths make you a worthy hire.
But beauty, and value, are in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone will see that at first, which is, really, a shame, as they don’t know what they are missing. Those wise and astute enough to make note of how incredible and incredibly well-suited you are—who want you for YOU—won’t take you for granted. Don’t discount these teams, and don’t get hung up on the ‘perfect’ position that outright rejected you. YOU. ARE. THE. PRIZE. And you deserve to be chosen and treated with respect.
