Many executives believe they are generalists, and they may even announce that on their LinkedIn profiles and resumes, which is a big mistake! \nEvery recruiter who has been a guest on this podcast de-bunks this myth that it\u2019s better to be a generalist than an expert. Every single one of them has encouraged you, listeners, to find your expertise and flaunt it.\nPodcast Episode Timestamps:\n02:00- The importance of niching down and finding your expertise.\n08:25 - Niching down means limiting the jobs you can apply for. \n10:04 - You have to niche down to a specific group of companies or jobs.\n16:52 - You have to niche your entire business\nLinks mentioned in this episode:\nFollow me on Instagram\nJoin my Facebook group\n40.
