Part IV of III: Thinking of a Mid-Career Change?

Make Your Career About Your Talent

Yep. This does say Part IV of III (see yesterday's rant) in Rowan Manahan's Definitive Job-Hunt  group project.

The notion of mid-career change came up because of my work with corporate executives. Many reach a point where they wonder if there is a "better fit" within their organization or if it's time to re-evaluate things and perhaps look for a good match elsewhere.

Either way, we all spend lots of time at work. As a result, satisfaction and "best fit" become important.

Five-Minute Overview

The self-playing (give it time to load and yes, there is a little audio here and there) will give you a big-picture view of the key elements in career decisions.

It's my first go at using the new Keynote software and YouTube so I'm pretty far down on the learning curve but am pleased that I finally got it on here!

Nice one Steve

One of the best series of books related to this subject still: Break all the rules, Now discovers your strengths and Put your strengths to work - Marcus Buckingham - Gallup Organisation.

Hi, Karin,

Yes, Marcus' book is excellent.

It was intentional not to mention it in order to do the unexpected and keep people focused on what one has to do rather than the resource.

Thanks for putting it into playl!

Hope I didn't spoil the fun.
