By Design: Principles for Choosing a Career Discover. Explore. Pursue.

Are you in a job you hate, doing work you don't enjoy, with people you don't like? By Design: Principles for Choosing a Career will help you live your dream. This powerful self-help guide invites you to answer five key questions that will help you choose a career you love and feel passionate about. While this book was created to help young people choose their careers, this easy-to-read guide is helpful for college students as well as business professionals who may still be struggling about finding work they enjoy and may even be considering a change of major or career change. By Design helps readers avoid the trap of finding meaningless work just to have a job, and instead find that "thing" that will bring the most joy and fulfillment in a practical, relatable way. A journal section at the end of each chapter continues the self-exploration and self-discovery process, so by the end of the book, you will find greater clarity, focus, and direction to make your next move. "I have come across many students - young and old - and professionals alike who struggle with being unhappy at work because their work is not aligned with their passion. This book will also help people who feel stuck in a job or career that is making them unhappy to make the right decisions and preparation to enter a field or career path they really love." The author shares personal examples of her own search for purposeful work, and she suggests supplementary reading and resources to help you find your ideal career. Simmone L.
