48 Days to the Work You Love Internet Radio Show

Is our church keeping us from our God given full potential? Other items we explore: Although I am trying to get certified as a trainer soon, I am still lacking enough education for me to feel like I can successfully work with clients. My dream is to open an organic/natural bakery with pastries, custom decorated cakes, and also maybe some organic cafe items. I'm wearing out in my current career, but I've decided to make the best of it for another 18 months when I qualify for a full retirement. I believe we can both get to a point where we ... Read More

I’m a Pastor and just got fired

You might think there are still some jobs that are immune from firing, but I can’t think of any.  Last week I talked to a “tenured” professor who just got fired and pastors are being fired in droves.  Even the President is constantly under threat of hearing his own phrase, “You’re Fired.”  Your security is never in the job, but in knowing how your skills transfer to multiple organizations. 

Other questions we discuss:

1. How does one go through a career hunting process when they are very happy in their current career but are forced to make a change?
2. How can I reinvent myself for a new career?
3. Every job I see I don’t meet the qualifications since I am just a customer service rep.
4. I recently got fired.  Should I find another job as a pastor, get my PhD or what?

That your job’s safe and secure

Summary:
In this episode, Dan reminds us that there’s no job that can provide the utmost certainty and security—no matter what industry or field. We exert so much energy into locking into a state of job security; perhaps what we need to do is invest in learning about our skills and the value we can offer to others. Listen as Dan shares numerous tips on how you can make use of your skills and resources; whether it’s for the sake of reinventing yourself or leveraging the expertise and passions you already have.

Finding your path as a high school student  —

Last week a listener asked if I were invited to give a university’s commencement address, what would I tell the graduates? This week another listener asked – what would you tell a junior or senior in high school who has yet to decide on a major? My suggestions include: allow yourself the freedom of exploration – follow your curiosity.  Find ways to make money – even if you don’t think you want to be an entrepreneur.  Shadow professionals who are doing work you think you might enjoy. 

Other questions we explore this week:

1. Is it now better to show I’m NOT working and focusing on improving myself?
2. Recently, I earned my MBA in Management, and now find myself between a rock and a hard place. I have been finding that I am over-educated but lacking in work experience.
3. How do I leave a job gracefully when I’ve only been here 7 months?
4. Should I continue to stay at this miserable job while working my business on the side, look for a new job with potentially less favorable hours in the interim or go for my business full time?

In this episode, Dan opens this week’s theme of finding your own path. There are countless reasons why people don’t get the jobs they apply for—this can include being overeducated or having gaps in a resumé. Dan also address students in universities who are just beginning their career journey. Apart from becoming unemployed, how do we encourage our young adults to pick a path that is right for them in the future? This week, Dan addresses these topics and gives us tips on how we can prepare ourselves for the job (and life) we’ve always wanted.Sponsored By:
