How to jumpstart a new career

Matt, what works quite often?

Uh, lie. It works quite often.

Take heed of the writer’s referral to Richard Bolles’ work. In particular do the exercises in his ‘What Color is Your Parachute?’ book, of simply buy the companion workbook ‘How to Create a Picture of Your Ideal Job or Next Career’; then do the PIE interviews (pleasure, information then employment). Don’t bother going to other sources as most all authors in this field have started with Richard’s work.
I was fortunate to have taken one of Richard’s 15 day Life – Work planning workshops back in 1990 and what I learned there changed my attitude and life about the nature of work. The next best thing is to read his work – and do the exercises. It isn’t easy as you face yourself, not what others have steered you into since you were young, but only you own this.
God bless…
