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:

I am going to talk about tonight what I consider the 2 largest problems of career development and they’re somewhat divergent but they also come together at a certain point. The first one of those is, and I must admit, i have experienced the same things myself is — what do you want to do as your career? A lot of people are faced with that fact every day, myself included. What do you want to be when your grow up? People have asked me that week and I still go “I don’t know. I do all these things and it sort of creates a career.” I sort of mush all of this stuff together and I develop something very unique to myself. The second aspect of a career is how do you build that career once you decide — at least in some small way — what you want to do? And there’s a great many ways of doing that. Many more ways today than there ever was back in 1989, 90, 91, when I was in the midst of the biggest part of my career. We have so many different avenues to explore and to utilize to help us build our career. And I’ll talk about that as well.
