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 I have people find talks years later. They’ll write me very, very heartfelt notes and say “Oh my gosh! I just stumbled across this now. This is great and exactly what I needed to hear.” I say, “Ok.” That reinforces the reason I do these things and also enforces the reason I tell people things because I have seen it work in people’s favor. Because, again, you want to be first in people’s minds when they have a need. Regardless of what that need may be. It can be any specialty, as I said. You can be a plumber, a cook, a chef, whatever. It does not matter. If someone wants to learn how to cook coq au vin. Ok. You go to Google or YouTube and type coq au vin — coq au vin recipe and you’ll find just as many videos that people making coq au vin as you will find recipes listing it out in text. It can be very very useful to you.
