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:

It’s very important for you — and the people you deal with later in your careers — think about what you want out of a career. Too often, we simply do things our career by rote. We take this job because it’s offered. We take the next job, because it’s offered and we just get kind of pushed from one job to another and you wake up 20 years later and go, “What the heck was I thinking? How did I end up…?” There’s an old joke about shaving a yak. How did you start here and end up shaving a yak at the end of your day? Because you’re not paying attention. You’re letting life push you around.
