On Saturday, I opened Dorota Klop-Sowinska’s book “Career Jump! How to Successfully Change Your Professional Path”
and I don’t want to put it down.
The book has found me at a key time -
I am asking myself:
How to increase my earning power while doing things that lend to my strengths?
In the past, I followed the path of least resistance and followed the advice of others’ blindly.
It’s an on-going process for me to answer the question,
“What do I want to do for a living?”
&
Find a monetary match.
I oftentimes feel alone in not having a clear career path. I struggle with opinions - particularly from recruiters - that my career isn't traditional and doesn't neatly hit all of the search engine key words.
But one case study in particular resonated so deeply. The client writes,
“I feel that people sometimes get stuck as they fall into the trap of thinking that they need to figure out the exact direction they want to take. To my mind, it's much better to follow your natural curiosity, to experiment with different ideas. You can't process everything simply by thinking it through. But by following your curiosity, in time, you might just discover what motivates you."
Why I Like "Career Jump":
- More like a workbook - Culminates Dorota's favorite coaching tools
- Includes client case studies throughout
- DIY option to start analyzing your next career move
- Insight into what it's like to be coached
- Target Audiences: Working expats & Global citizens
As an American living abroad, it is so nice to read stories of others that moved away from their native country. There are different challenges and mindsets.
Thank you & Congratulations, Dorota!
I am half way through and took a break to write this. I will be sure to share more insights from the second half of "Career Jump!"
