The real power is in framing your existing experiences in a way that highlights your skills and transferable knowledge. It's all about understanding how your past roles, even if not directly aligned, can demonstrate your potential.

Thanks for this short and useful article, Kareem.

YES. Selling yourself shouldn’t feel like performing a magic trick. If you have to stretch the truth to sound impressive, something’s off. The best way to stand out is to own what you actually bring to the table.

I tell people all the time—alignment sells. When your messaging matches your energy, you attract the right opportunities without the ick factor.
