Stop putting yourself into a box.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I know what\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0saying: But h<\/span>ow do I avoid falling into a box as I grow and learn?\u00a0How\u00a0do I make sure I stay multifaceted?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For starters, you need to understand why being multifaceted is worth it.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Taking Yourself out of the Box\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your entire life people ask you one big question: \u201cWhat do you want to do?\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0five, the answer is usually something\u00a0along the lines of\u00a0astronaut, movie\u00a0star, or storm chaser. As you get older, it morphs into lawyer, teacher, nurse, or something else that feels more practical and attainable.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, when\u00a0it’s\u00a0time to go to college, you narrow it down even further: “I\u2019m a Hospitality Innovation and Leadership Major with a concentration in Food and Beverage Management!\u201d At the end of the semester, you add a minor in Property Management, and slowly, you are putting yourself into a\u00a0tighter and tighter\u00a0box.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It makes sense:\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0told your whole life to pick a career and focus on that, so if you want to run your own restaurant, this seems like the perfect path to take in college. Throughout your college career, you may become an expert in every area of restaurant management, but who will hire a 22-year-old to run an entire restaurant straight out of college?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No one.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u00a0have to\u00a0stop trying to fit in the box of \u201cexpert.\u201d\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0better to have more breadth in your knowledge than know everything about one\u00a0very specific\u00a0area.\u00a0Most people talk about being a jack of all trades like\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0a negative thing, and\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0because they\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0know the whole saying. Societally, people tend to say, \u201cA jack of all trades is a master of none,\u201d implying that you can\u00a0<\/span>kind of<\/span><\/i>\u00a0do\u00a0anything, but\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0not exceptionally great at anything.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, this version of the saying is incomplete. The full quote goes, \u201cA jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Focus on Your Field<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now,\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0not telling you to break your laptop in half and learn how to be a mechanic (though it might be helpful later in life). I am telling you to open yourself up within your area. Stop focusing on only one practice within your field.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s\u00a0say\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0a media student and you only want to film movies. Every class you take, every project you\u00a0submit, and\u00a0all of\u00a0your freelance work is related to filming. Your portfolio is stacked with short films. Lucky for you, Warner Brothers is hiring!\u00a0They\u2019re\u00a0looking for a social media specialist, someone to film and edit short-form videos promoting their upcoming movies. You apply…and get denied.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why?\u00a0You\u2019re\u00a0a skilled videographer,\u00a0you\u2019ve\u00a0won awards,\u00a0you\u2019ve\u00a0worked on sets before and everything!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well…you have zero social media\u00a0experience,\u00a0whereas\u00a0John Doe’s portfolio has four short films, three social media examples, two blogs, and a\u00a0few\u00a0graphics. While you may see that as nothing against your 37 short films, Warner Brothers sees it as someone who is flexible to fulfill any aspect this role may require.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u00a0have to\u00a0open yourself up to the\u00a0idea that\u00a0you\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0immediately\u00a0get your dream job. While you can and should focus on your dream position, taking a class or HubSpot certification here and there in other aspects of the field allows you to dip your toes in the waters of preparedness.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Scattered Versus Prepared\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to being multifaceted, there is a fine line between being scattered and being prepared.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0good to pick one\u00a0main focus, like an overarching theme based on your specific interest.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You want to ensure that you are still skilled in every area: you cannot open Adobe Audition one time for a project and call yourself an audio\u00a0engineer;\u00a0you have to have the evidence and experience to back it up. You need to dial in on your\u00a0field, not one position.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maintaining Boundaries<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next time someone asks if you want to\u00a0assist\u00a0with something in your field, even if\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0not your exact dream job, say yes! Get out of your box and professional comfort zone. Open yourself up to opportunities.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, like with all things, there is a disclaimer: do not overwhelm\u00a0yourself by\u00a0trying to do everything\u00a0all of\u00a0the time. You are a skilled individual, and as you add more skills to your resume, you also gain the ability to figure out related tasks as you do them. Say yes to things, and allow yourself to grow, but\u00a0maintain\u00a0boundaries to make sure that you are prioritizing you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
