And the truth is this: so many of you are doing work every single day that carries weight, complexity, intention, and real impact, but the way you describe your work experiences is quietly minimizing the depth of what you’re contributing to the organizations, communities, and populations you work with as a case manager.In this episode of the Macro Social Work Your Way Podcast with Marthea Pitts, MSW, I walk through the three most common ways social workers unintentionally devalue their social work career experience without even realizing it. Because the truth is the tiny details you skip over. The moments you downplay. The stories you tell without telling the whole process. Intentionally or unintentionally. All of it shapes how people read your value in the job market.I’m breaking down how this shows up, how it impacts your career confidence, and how it affects how hiring managers read your experience when you’re applying and competing for macro social work jobs. This conversation is honest, real, and necessary, especially for social workers who know they are ready for more significant work but have not been taught how to discuss what they’ve already accomplished.If you want to learn how to identify your most valuable transferable skills, translate them to macro social work employers, and position your experience to compete for macro social work jobs, work with me inside the next cohort of the Micro to Macro Career Accelerator.
