I love my current job.

I get to exercise my marketing chops and provide value to the company.

Some of the things I get to do at my job is: SEO, PPC, Video, Brochures, Tradeshows, Content, Social Media, PR , Email, marketing automation, and other marketing tools.

I am going to write some ideas about each of these areas in subsequent posts, but for now, I want to implore you to get skilled.

I believe we all have a toolbelt of sorts, and we need to add as many tools as possible into it.

I have definitely heard of and agree with the mantra ‘jack of all trades is master of none’, but if you are starting your career, I recommend collecting as many skills and tools as possible – be general and go wide.

As you gain experiences and build up your portfolio of wins and successes (and learn from your failures and missteps), then you can start to narrow your focus and specialized into an area that you can hone and build out your next career chapter with.

Jack of all trades, master of none From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A jack of all trades is a master of none

“The complete saying was originally “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” Formerly intended as a compliment, the phrase means that a person is a generalist rather than a specialist, versatile and adept at many things.” This is the problem with our habit of shortening things. We don’t understand their original intention anymore. We shouldn’t ignore the old adage but the new one (in this case, at least).

Jack of all trades, master of none From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Jack of all trades, master of none" is a figure of speech used in reference to a person who has dabbled in many skills, rather than gaining expertise by focusing on one. The shortened version "a jack of all trades" is often a compliment for a person who is good at fixing things, and has a very good broad knowledge. They may be a master of integration, as such an individual who knows enough from many learned trades and skills to be able to bring the individual's disciplines together in a practical manner. This person is a generalist rather than a specialist.
