Part IV: Bringing Your Dream Career to Life Part V: The Part of Tens Excerpt Foreword by Richard Bolles, author of What Color Is Your Parachute: Most forewords are written to urge you to read the book. But I know you are going to?like this book, so you need no urging there. What I want to urge in this foreword is something else, and that is the importance of career change, and more particularly, the importance of considering a career change in your own life. Experts tell us that the average person goes through the job hunt eight times. I have observed that each time we go through a job hunt, we face a crossroads: Should we do a mechanical job search, or should we do a life-changing job search? The mechanical job search is basically a matching process. It is so mechanical, even the Internet can do it for us. Your resume. All the employers' job openings. Is there a match? The site's "robot" will give you the news by morning. That's the mechanical job search. The life-changing job search is different. If the mechanical job search starts with the labor market as "the given," the life-changing job search starts with you as "the given." The mechanical job search assumes that you're going to go on doing basically what you were doing before, but the life-changing job search assumes that all bets are off. You have certain transferable skills. They can be used anywhere. So, where would you most like to work? What would you most like to do for the rest of your life? Dream, dream, dream. More often than you can imagine, those dreams can be turned into reality! |
