A Place For Your Stuff from Using the Career Compass To Find Your Work And Career [Audio] (1:08)

Read the book

Douglas E. Welch (http://douglasewelch.com) presents to the class Career Development – Theories and Techniques at Pepperdine Graduate School of Education & Psychology taught by fellow CareerCamp Co-Chair, Danielle Gruen

The two biggest challenges are deciding what you want to do as a career and then building the career you deserve once you decide.

I discuss the Career Compass method of discovering your career wants, needs and desires and then using various social media tools to show people “What you do and how well you do it”

Transcript:

…and what I find is, the minute you have a place to put stuff like that you start to think about stuff that you want to put there and this can be in any job. This can be a plumber, a chemist, a doctor, a lawyer, a psychologist — it doesn’t matter. You need a place for these interesting ideas that you stumble across in your work and your life that you can share with other people that demonstrate clearly “What you do and how well you do it.” I have — again, I’m a tech guy — I have 5 blogs, because they’re all broken out by interest and my interest are so varied, but the fact is, you just need someplace because in our search engine based world, our Google, Googlized world, you don’t know who’s going to see that. Just like we don’t know who we’re going to sit next to at the coffee shop, we don’t know who is going to do a search on some obscure enzyme reaction with a protein or something and happen upon across your blog about your research into that area. You don’t know. You CAN’T know.
