For every job available out there, no matter the discipline, we can find hundreds of applicants equally qualified who can fill that position. A colleague of mine, who worked as Dean of Administration at an academic institution, once told me that no matter how good we are at our job, there will always be someone similarly qualified and willing to do what we do for less money. In other words, we are not indispensable. Although that might sound a bit tough, it is exactly today’s reality, and for that reason, we must be constantly considering the things that we can do to set ourselves apart from the crowd.
