I HEARD A GUY SAY ONCE AAFTER HE FINALLY FOUND A JOB HE LIKED..
"I KNEW SCREWING UP ALL THESE YEARS WOULD PAY OFF SOMEDAY"
THERE IS A BETTER WAY!!
TAKES PRESSURE OFF
ALLOWS DISCUSSION AROUND “WHAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY?”
IF A GOOD “FIT” YOU WILL...
WILL WORK HARDER
MORE LIKELY TO STAY IN THE POSITION
MORE LIKELY TO CONTRIBUTE
THIS IS THE MODEL MOST CAREER COUNSELORS USE
LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF
WHY did you like that job?
WHY did you enjoy team sports or individual sports?
WHY did you DISlike the same things?
RESEACH
Where do you get your information about what a career is like? There are GOOD sources and there are POOR sources!
MAKE A PLAN
BUT…. Can we predict what will be happening in 45 years from now or even 10 years from now??

Most people just go up and jump / choose a job.
My advice is to do your research and be open to opportunity
When you jump you’ll know you have plenty of water!
