Yesterday at a Networking event, I was speaking with three very talented individuals with different views and concerns about doing what they have passion for doing in their next job.\u00a0 One who is energizes and excited about what he wants to do.\u00a0 The second fearful and almost stopped in his tracks from fear, unhappy and afraid to take action. \u00a0 The third,\u00a0 so on fire about exploring a \u2018love\u2019, hobby and the opportunities in the market place he left behind in college you could feel his energy.<\/p>\n

As I listened, I recalled a post from Meg Guiseppi<\/a>, \u201cCan You Work Your Passion in a Lousy Executive Job Market?\u201d<\/a> Meg shared the three points, from Curt Rosengren’s article in the US News & World Report article, “Does Having Passion for Your Work Even Matter?<\/a>” – the point, here is that why passion is such an important investment for your career, was playing out before my eyes and why it is important to your job search as well.<\/p>\n

It still surprises me that so many people, elect not to spend a little time to discover or think about what they have passion for and find a way to incorporate that passion within a search to land their next job.<\/p>\n

For years I have shared, \u201cDo what you love, money follows\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 To do that you do need to discover what you have passion for and how that aligns with your purpose and goals.<\/p>\n

A job search is always challenging.\u00a0 Work and life will always include bumps in the road.\u00a0 When you know your purpose, what makes you unique and different, what brings you joy, what you want to do, it is much easier to find and once you are working, it make your career much more fulfilling.<\/p>\n

Can you answer the questions?\u00a0 What do you want to do?<\/p>\n

Have you taken time to explore what makes you happy?<\/p>\n

What excites you?\u00a0 What matters to you?<\/p>\n

What makes you get up in the morning or stay up late?<\/p>\n

What is stopping you from spending the time right now to reconnect with your passions or to answer these questions?<\/p>\n

Why are you afraid to do some soul-searching?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
