How to Find Work You Love

Are you looking for work, considering changing careers, or interested in starting your own business? Would you like to find work you love? Below you will find simple tips I picked up while listening to Dr Susan Bernstein's Work From Within radio show.

Job Search Process

• Look over your resume. Ask yourself, "What employers would connect with this resume?"
• Get in touch with people you know and ask for their ideas.
• Join Linkedin and connect with professionals in the field.
• Find ways to connect with more people.

Changing Careers

• Network- Join Linkedin. Ask friends.
• Ask yourself, "What would I like to be doing?"
• While you are looking for work, get a sustenance job in the meantime (to be able to afford food and shelter). Ex/Temp jobs, work at a coffee shop, etc.
• Ask yourself, "What are the skills, talents and abilities that I want to be using right now?"
• What does the future look like for you?
• Keep a journal during this process.

Starting a Business

• Begin with the end in mind: How will you feel? What will it look like?
• How do you want to be of service?
• Be clear about your audience: Try out a few different audiences; Ask yourself, "Who do I want to connect with and why?"
• Speak in your audience's language: What is the benefit of your business? Describe so people can recogize themselves in who you help.
