When looking for a job, you need to tailor your resume to match the description for each job you apply for. This concept can be flipped once you have obtained a position to tailor your role to best match your strengths.

Job crafting is the act of modifying your existing job in a way that allows you to make the most impact and shine in your organization. Employees want a sense of purpose in what they do, and as they figure out how to find meaningful work, job crafting may be a more effective way to do so than looking for an entirely new position. The job crafting process has three forms:

  • Task crafting: switching the type of role and the tasks involved in it
  • Relationship crafting: altering who you are interacting with in the scope of your job duties
  • Cognitive crafting: changing how you interpret the work you are doing
