The 4 Success Strategies of 'Employability Plus'
Published on Dec 06, 2025 • 10 min read
In the modern economy, "Employability" isn't enough. You need "Employability Plus"—the ability to repeatedly get jobs that you enjoy and that pay well. Here are the 4 strategies to achieve it.
1. Articulate Your Personalized Work Focus (PWF)
Work is broader than a job. Your PWF is what you "own" and carries with you. It's your unique value proposition that exists independent of your current employer.
2. Scan the Near Future
Don't just look at today's tasks. Look at the "Work Arena". What are the hot topics? What skills will be expensive in 3 years? Position yourself there.
3. Take Action to Shape Reality
Planning is overrated. Action is underrated. Test reality by:
- Trying out new side projects.
- Networking with people outside your industry.
- "Reworking your story" as you tell it to others.
4. Manage Your Career Cycle
Are you a Maintainer, a Builder, or a Changer? Knowing your current intensity level helps you set realistic goals.
