I used articulate my job designation!
While my response succinctly conveyed what I did for a living, it did not convey the ‘positive elements of my job description!
A positive job description is a way of framing your role and responsibilities in an uplifting and impactful manner.
Instead of merely listing tasks, a positive job description highlights the value you bring, the impact of your work, and the broader purpose your role serves within the organization.
My positive job description is to ‘Inspire and empower people to be better versions of themselves!’
