make your next job a
dream job $10
Job satisfaction is becoming more and more important when
choosing a career path. Whether you are choosing your first or
next career path, you should take the time to think about all of
the intangibles that contribute to job satisfaction. In this
class, students will learn to look for jobs by evaluating what
their next job must have, should have, and must NOT have.
Students will also learn about uncovering hidden jobs by
discovering the skill sets the employer actually needs, rather
than those he thinks he needs." Find a job you love and you’ll
never work a day in your life” is a saying often attributed to
Confucius. Good advice.
