What if I told you that you could have any job you want
based on one simple formula?
That your world would open if you understood this truth:
How desirable you are in the job marketplace…
The number of opportunities available to you..
And even the amount you get paid…
Is all based on “Perceived Value.”
It’s all about how employers view the amount of value you
provide.
The Formula For Attracting Any Job You Want
When I first learned this formula from a brilliant marketer
named Frank Kern, my mind was blown. Understanding this changes everything.
Here’s the formula:
Practical Value + Intrinsic Value = Total Perceived Value
Most people don’t know this, but increasing your Total
Perceived Value is the secret to attracting any job you want.
So let’s break it down and see why it will help you become irresistible
to employers and empower you to get any job you want.
Practical value is what you do as your trade. For instance,
Frank uses the example of a car. A car’s practical value is that it gets you
from “A to B.” You can put stuff in it, it might ride well, and it will get you
where you want to be faster than if you walk there.
So your practical value might be fighting fires,
architecting buildings, or healing patients.
Society has assigned a practical value to each of these
activities, and for the most part, there’s not much you can do NOW to increase
your practical value. Except for increase your skill and experience level, of
course.
However, “Intrinsic Value” is where things get interesting.
This is the subjective realm that you can quickly boost in order to make
yourself more attractive and get what you want.
How To Boost Your “Intrinsic Value” & Become Magnetic
Let’s walk through the concept of Intrinsic Value by
continuing Frank’s example.
If the practical value of a car is getting you from A to B,
then the Intrinsic Value of the car is how it’s positioned and presented.
For instance, a Rolls Royce costs about 300% more than a
BMW, despite the fact that BMW owns Rolls Royce and use many of the same
elements in both cars. The main differences are cosmetic…
BUT here’s the kicker. If you drive a Rolls, then it tells
people that you’re a success. People notice you. And that’s because of the
price tag, and the positioning of the brand.
You have a brand too.
And just like Rolls positioned them as superior to BMW,
there are ways for you to position yourself so your Intrinsic Value goes
through the roof…
…Increasing demand by employers for you. And giving you more
opportunities than ever before.
Tricks For Boosting Your Personal Brand
The key to all of this is really psychology. It’s subtle
differences in how people see you, which you can control, that make the biggest
difference in your Perceived Value.
So here are the keys to positioning your personal brand from
one of the best marketers in the world. You want to position yourself as:
Exclusive
Rare
Different
Exciting
Original
Contrarian, and
Popular
And in order to do this, these elements have to already be
in place when recruiters and employers start looking for you. This is not
something that you can put together in a rush as you’re applying for 100 jobs
at a time.
This subject is so big that an entire class could be taught
on it… but here are a few key points:
It’s now common
knowledge that the first thing employers and recruiters do is Google you. So
the BEST place to position yourself is online. You can do this through social
media like Facebook or LinkedIn, and ideally, you have your own website and
blog.
Educating people
establishes authority and passion, and gives you the opportunity to share
original and contrarian opinions. You can do this on any online platform by
giving your perspective on an article, or ideally, posting your own thoughts on
social media or your blog.
Get clear on what
you stand for and against, and use that to authentically and confidently
express yourself whenever an opportunity to position yourself in front of
people comes up.
That’s all I can squeeze into this article, however, there’s

Cheers to boosting your perceived value.
