About The Author

Introduction

Are you struggling to find your career calling? Or have you started your career and now realize that you hate what you do? Are you feeling burnt out and dread Monday mornings?

If so, I know you will benefit from this book.

Many of us spend 8-10 hours a day, 5-6 days a week at work. You may spend more time at work then you do with your spouses, children, and friends. Work is not just a source of income that provides you and your families with food and shelter, but it is also who you are. It’s your way of being a productive member of society and providing a useful and needed service or product to the world.

But, what do you do if you find yourself burnt out in an un-fulfilling job and a dead end career?

Unfortunately, many of us have realized that finding our chosen career path is a lot easier said than done. Maybe you have spent tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars on a higher education to get you ready for your career path, and then realize it’s the wrong path. Or if you are lucky enough to land the career of your dreams, too often that dream job soon becomes a nightmare leading you feeling burnt out and disillusioned. Suddenly you may feel like you’re constantly swimming upstream, you dread going to work every day and in return your productivity at work suffers, you fail to progress in your career and your overall satisfaction with life plummets.

But the opposite is also true. When you find yourself in a fulfilling job and career you flourish! Your productivity spikes because you’re actually good at what you do and you enjoy it! Instead of feeling like you are a fish swimming upstream you feel like you’re in the flow. Your career progresses, your income increases, and you enjoy life more.

So, how do you find your calling? Where do you even start? How do you discover what your chosen career path should be? And once you do discover your dream job, how do you grow that career and avoid burning out?

These are the questions I try to answer in this brief book focusing on 3 key areas which includes 33 strategies all explained in detail:

How to find a career that fits your strengths, weaknesses and personality:

1. Understand your strengths

2. Understand your weaknesses

3. Take a career assessment test

4. Talk to others who are in the same career field

5. Try not to let family members, relatives, college professors and friends influence you (too much)

6. Make the right decision when it comes to education

7. Get an internship/apprenticeship

8. Don't focus too much on the money (at first)

9. Learn how to write a resume

10. Learn how to apply to jobs

11. Find a (good) recruiter/headhunter

12. Network, network, network

How to move your career forward and take it to the next level:
