Answer at the bottom of the newsletter.
As we all know, most of us will reach a time in our work life when we have to reinvent our careers for an evolving economy. Some of us go back to school while others enter new businesses.
The first thing you want to do when considering a career change is to stop thinking of yourself as just a job title, whether that be financial analyst, human resources specialist, manager, teacher, or homemaker. No matter how you spend the first part of your career, whether it's coaching soccer or fully entrenched in corporate America, we all end up developing specific expertise.
Many people fall into their careers. Does this sound like YOU?
You took the first job that came along. Then, when when you tired of that job, you tried to find something better. Fast forward to a few jobs later and you now find yourself asking, "How did I get here?" And even worse, "Why am I so miserable?"
If this sounds familiar, then it's time for you to take a step back from the day-to-day of your job and so some serious self assessment. More importantly, you need to learn how to take that self knowledge and use it to weed out the 100s and 1000s of jobs that DON'T fit you.
This is the only way you can narrow in on the jobs that will make you feel satisfied and successful.
So, where can you learn this? Good news! Our upcoming FREE workshop will teach you.

Oddly enough, staying for an extended period of time (5 years or more) in a job can make some recruiters and hiring managers question why. They think, "Is he a lower-level performer with no drive to grow?" Or, "Is she leaving after something bad happened?"Sadly, their thoughts tend to be negative. Gone are the days where loyalty to a job is rewarded.
In this video, here Work It DAILY's CEO, J.T. O'Donnell explain the right way to explain why you stayed at a job for so long.
