Trying To Find A Fulfilling Career?
The Great Resignation began in 2021 and is continuing well into 2022. A growing labor shortage is occurring. Why are so many employees choosing to leave their current jobs? Why are employers struggling to find qualified workers?
A silver lining of living through a terrible pandemic is that people begin to question their own values. What is important to me? Why do I stay in a job that feels so dissatisfying? How do I want to spend the time I have? What type of work bring the greatest sense of fulfillment and purpose?
When taking assessment of your own values, what comes to mind? Family? Travel? Time? Friendships? Reading? Creating? Solving significant problems? Connecting with your passions? You are a complex and gifted human being. You are created with purpose and immense talent that needs to be applied. You might be like the millions of other people around the world taking a new inventory of your own values and determining that your job is taking you further away from the joys, passions, values, and purpose that you once dreamed would become your future.
Yikes! What’s the Good News???
If you find yourself exploring the possibilities of a new career path in 2022, you’re not alone.
