Figuring Out Your Passion – Live Jobsticker’s Jobseeker Resource Show on LinkedIn (Episode 18)

🛣️ Life can be tough. It’s even tougher when you are at a career crossroads.

🚗 You’re sitting there, both hands on the wheel, white-knuckled from the stress of not knowing just which way to go.

🦺 One road leads to safety and security, but financial wellbeing, career happiness, perhaps work-life balance hang in the balance.

🤗 The other road? Passion projects. Things that tickle your belly. Things that make you research for hours at length without realizing just how the time really did fly.

〰️ It can be a mixed emotion bag of excitement, intimidation, confusion, and clarity, all within a minute of each other.

〰️ Sometimes it’s best to not even get to that road divider yet. Sometimes it might be best to put the dang car in reverse and take the foot off the peddle for now.

〰️ So let’s get calculated!

〰️ In this week’s Live Jobsticker’s Jobseeker Resource Show on LinkedIn (Episode 18, which runs every Wednesday at 2:00 PM EST), I tackle some of those passion discovery questions to help you on your career journey investigation.
