When we hear the word innovation, we often think of tech giants, startup founders, or inventors tinkering in labs. But here’s the truth, innovation isn’t just for Silicon Valley. It’s for you, especially if you’re job seeking or changing careers.

Innovation means trying a different approach. It means asking, “What if I explored a new industry?” or “How can I tell my story differently on my resume?” It means not doing what everyone else is doing, like applying to 100 jobs with the same cover letter and wondering why nothing sticks.

Maybe innovation looks like reaching out for informational interviews instead of just applying online. Maybe it's learning one new tool, like LinkedIn’s “Open to Work” features, or crafting a more authentic elevator pitch. It doesn’t have to be big. But it does have to be intentional.

If you want different results in your job search, bring a little innovation into your process. It can be the difference between being stuck and finding momentum.

👉 And remember: Innovation doesn’t mean perfection. It just means you’re willing to try something new.
