Finding fulfilling work is a difficult process, even under the best circumstances. For those graduating into the economic uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, that struggle might seem insurmountable. But within the uncertainty, there is opportunity.
In FINDING WORK YOU LOVE, award-winning University of Southern California business school professor KIRK SNYDER shares his proven methods for helping people find upwardly mobile work that matters and exceeds expectations in any chosen profession. Based on principles from the top-rated course he teaches to graduate and undergraduate students, Professor Snyder’s “Working You” system is designed to help job-seekers identify the strengths they bring to today’s job market, and then match them with a job that rewards workers for who they are in the world of work.
FINDING WORK YOU LOVE is all about working with what you have. First, readers will take a guided inventory of their professional value: who you are, what you can do, and how you’re authentically motivated. Next they’ll evaluate possible careers by how well the field, company, and role fits with their personal inventory. Along the way, case studies and exercises from real people who have successfully used this system will help easily navigate the process. And finally, readers will learn how to turn the right fits from their customized job bank into offers–and a fulfilling and successful career they love.
