Career ladders and permanent positions are a thing of the past. Today, we live in a world of squiggly jobs, where switching between roles, industries, places, and even vocations is the new normal. Squiggly professions can be stressful and exhausting, but they can also be full of opportunity, flexibility, and purpose if you know how to make the most of them.
And, in order to make the most of our increasingly squiggly professions, we must first answer three critical questions: What am I excellent at? What exactly do I stand for? What inspires and drives me? Where do I see myself going in the future?
You'll learn how to do the following things in The Squiggly Career:
- Use your superpowers to your advantage.
- Learn about your values.
- Overcome your self-doubt demons.
- Improve your support networks.
- Investigate your future options.
This book will help you be happier and ultimately more successful in your job by providing insights into the shifting shape of work, activities to fuel your progress, and ideas and inspiration from extremely successful people.
