@elite.recruiter: Gen X has one fatal career flaw, and it is not age. It is modesty. ⠀ You were raised to let the work speak for itself. To not make it about you. To keep your head down and wait to be recognized. That worked in 1998. In 2026 it makes you invisible while louder, less tested people take the room. ⠀ So here is the correction, and it is uncomfortable on purpose: ⠀ 1️⃣ Stop saying "we." Start saying "I decided, I built, I called it." Credit you route to the team is credit that never reaches you. ⠀ 2️⃣ Name your track record out loud. Three downturns survived is not a war story, it's a qualification. Say the number. ⠀ 3️⃣ Stop translating for free. If you're the only one who can bridge the 60 year old and the 24 year old, that's a paid skill, not a personality trait. Make leadership treat it like one. ⠀ Your value was never the question. Your willingness to claim it is. ⠀ Comment ELITE and I'll send you The Elite Edge, my free no fluff newsletter on the corporate truths no one else will tell you. ⠀ #genx #careeradvice #corporatelife #executiverecruiter #careergrowth
