If you want to find the right career for you right now, read Marc's book and take action today
I have had many jobs in my career and during the transition to a new positions, I did not define what I wanted to do and ultimately where I wanted to go. That led me to many positions where I did not find fulfilling work. If you are looking to make a change in your career, I recommend you read Marc's book. His book helped me realize that I need to know much more about myself, how I want to work, what type of management support I need for job success. If you are going to pivot to the right direction in your career, Marc provides you actionable steps to take that will set you on a path to finding fulfilling work regardless of your current career stage. Marc also shares his own career stories that bring context to how both failure and success will help you ultimately manage career change and continue thriving in fulfilling work. If you want to find the right career for you right now, read Marc's book and take action today.
Specific Recommendations for Anyone Considering a Career Move
Nominally written for Baby Boomers, 'Repurpose Your Career' offers all ages specific actions to help those contemplating a career or job move. The book starts with more general advice on 'knowing thyself', and in that it resembles many books in the self-help genre. At the end of each chapter, there is a checklist for self-reflection: again, nothing new here. However, what sets this book apart are the very specific suggestions made in the second half of the book along with the connection to the follow up ideas in the connected website.
For those of us considering 'what to do next', the book has given me the incentive to explore myself further and I will likely follow up by contacting the author for further direction, as he suggests is possible.
Highly recommended.
If you are considering a new chapter in your working life, this book is a great place to start.
My father left the Navy after WWII and worked for one company for the remainder of his career. Forty three years with the same employer. No more.
