Synopsis
A surefire guide to planning your next career move and discovering the job you really want.
Jennifer Turliuk was dissatisfied in her corporate job, so she quit. But she had no idea what to do next. After university, she, like so many graduates, focused on just getting a job rather than figuring out the career she really wanted.
Instead of getting another degree or going back to school to change her career path, Turliuk embarked on a “self-education journey,” interviewing and shadowing some of the world’s leading professors, founders, and investors from Silicon Valley companies such as Airbnb, Square, and Kiva. What she discovered was not only a way to find out what she really wanted to do with her own life, but also a career-design process that would help others do just the same.
Turliuk’s career-prototyping framework uses tested strategies and exercises, including quantified self, design thinking, and lean methodology to help everyone from recent graduates to mid-career workers looking for a change. Let this book be your guide to finding a satisfying and passion-driven career that is right for you.
My Thoughts
Everyone aspires to have purpose or meaning in their career but how do you actually do that? What practical steps can you take today or this month to make sure you’re not just toiling away at your desk but you’re doing something you genuinely care about? Unfortunately, most of us don’t know how to make the job decisions that lead to satisfaction. No one really ever teaches us how: “Very few parents, teachers, and mentors urge us to think about this or give us mental models to use,”
Through How to Figure Out What to Do with Your Life (Next) Jennifer Turliuk guides you on the process of making big career decision making from her years of experience and knowledge.
What propels the book, like Turliuk's writing, is her intoxicating brand of storytelling. She is the master of mixing familiar elements with surprise counter-intuitions, and then seasoning with a sprinkling of scientific evidence.... Turliuk is a master in career making.
A must-read for anyone looking to achieve their personal best.
Highly Recommended!
