“Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of
your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.”
— Napoleon Hill, motivational author  – Tweet This

Summary:

In this episode, Dan Miller discusses the difficulty in finding work from two ends of a spectrum; being overeducated to not having any formal education at all. He also speaks to the listener who wants to turn their passion to help others into a career and whether it’s plausible to monetize these desires in the first place. Tune in as Dan describes what it takes to be able to give to others and why showcasing your skills and abilities can be more advantageous that showcasing your education in today’s job market.

The post I’ve got a PhD but no JoB appeared first on Official Site Dan Miller.

I’ve got a PhD but no JoB  I’ve got B.S., and MBA, a PhD, a DDS – and no job. My heart breaks every time I see these painful letters.  Typically the writer has a mountain of student loan debt, the embarrassment of no job, and few marketable skills.  In this episode I talk about redefining “education” and getting degrees for the personal experience, not for the “job.”

1. I have a dream to help divorced moms
2. When is it better to simply apply for a job and when is it better to invest time and effort in a resume and fancy job search?
3. I have a couple of clients and a class, and I LOVE it, but I hate marketing.
4. My twin sister and I have PhDs in Linguistics but after 70+ applications, no Jobs
5. I have no formal education beyond a few classes related to my previous career – what do I put on a resume?

“Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.” — Napoleon Hill, motivational author  – Tweet This

Summary:

In this episode, Dan Miller discusses the difficulty in finding work from two ends of a spectrum; being overeducated to not having any formal education at all. He also speaks to the listener who wants to turn their passion to help others into a career and whether it’s plausible to monetize these desires in the first place. Tune in as Dan describes what it takes to be able to give to others and why showcasing your skills and abilities can be more advantageous that showcasing your education in today’s job market.
