Synopsis

Today, more and more people are no longer content just to survive their working days. They want a career that offers real satisfaction, one that makes use of their skills without compromising their integrity, a career that makes a unique contribution to the world at large. If you are yearning to get off the conventional career ladder, to find work you can feel passionate about and proud of, Making a Living While Making a Difference can show you how. It begins by offering real-life stories of people who've faced the challenge of finding a job that is harmonious with their values and who've succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. Then it provides a powerful ten-step program that covers everything from identifying your personal ethics, job requirements, and personal strengths to going out and finding - or creating - the job of your dreams.

From the Publisher

In a nonjudgmental, supportive style, Everett leads the reader through self-tests and checklists that help examine personal inclinations and goals for a career with a conscience, assess its feasibility, and distinguish realistic-idealistic goals from impractical-idealistic goals. Everett outlines a program for career development in eleven easy-to-follow steps that stress practicality, innovation, and vision. She gives tips for job-seekers, for job-changers, and even for those who want to revitalize their working lives while working with a conscience right where they are. With this guide, readers will become survivors in a challenging business climate as they face their dilemmas about doing good while doing well, develop multiple employment options, and vigorously cultivate their entrepreneurial skills and spirit. The book also predicts emerging, secure career fields around the world that will be environmentally sustainable, meet long-term basic needs, and reflect social values. Using trend analysis, detailed case studies, extensive resource lists, and numerous exercises, readers will learn how to discover and create myriad opportunities to make their job make a difference.
