“This framework is a game changer”

This framework is a game changer and happens to come at the perfect time for me, as I’m crafting my updated profile and an offering to move from employed to self-employed/ business owner.

“Excellent framing, great length, very captivating”

Excellent framing, great length, very captivating, and an article that shows off what generalists do best…connect the dots and integrate things others can’t! Thanks Milly!

“These jobs are unique and are sometimes hard to find”

These jobs are unique and are sometimes hard to find. I appreciate the curated postings that are for generalist and I really enjoy the help with the job searching.

The work world is hard …when you don’t fit in a box

We get it. It feels tough being a generalist because work was never designed keeping you in mind. Maybe these sound familiar….

You scroll job listings and think, “Where do I even fit?”

Roles feel too narrow. You feel too much, and not enough, all at once.

“If you are on the job hunt or believe even for a second that you may be a Generalist, I recommend you join Generalist World as soon as possible”

You keep second-guessing your path because it doesn’t look like anyone else’s.

The world rewards specialists. You’ve never been just one thing.

“Cried real tears because of how beautifully Milly, Lindsey, and the Generalist World team are articulating what exactly I feel, but never quite pinpointed!!”

You’ve done a bit of everything, but when someone asks what you do, you freeze.

It’s hard to wrap your work into a neat, one-line answer.

“I have already found greater career clarity and confidence than I have had in years”

“I can’t tell you how fab the timing of this email was for me”

I can’t tell you how fab the timing of this email was for me. I just fluffed an interview as I did not answer the squiggly career question as well as this!

I’m constantly met with your just a generalist despite holding C-suite level jobs during my career. It’s scary how much of a herd mentality the hiring world has over you must be a 10 year + specialist in X.

It’s always a fight to not let that get you down, so thank you again for such great content.

“Such good content. I starred it to come back to ion the future! thanks!”

“Love the weekly job opportunities”

Love the weekly job opportunities. It’s an expander for me. Seeing what is possible for my generalist archetype has been immensely helpful.

“Being aware of my archetype and the associated job title helps me immensely”

Thank you for the weekly job opportunities.

Being aware of my archetype and the associated job title helps me immensely in my job search. Plus the opportunities you send in the email, I haven’t come across on the other platforms that I look for jobs.

“Such a useful concept to understand, and so relatable, thank you!”

“I appreciate your job opportunities”

I appreciate your job opportunities; they are a valuable service to us generalists. I also appreciate your ability to keep up with developments in this niche

“Reading stories like Michael’s really helps us generalists find a language to describe our own experiences.”
