Introduction Page "The Human Factor: How Finding Your Dream Job Starts by Getting to Know Yourself
Brent Jones
Introduction
Despite our many differences, all human beings share at least one thing in common. We all want to be the best version of ourselves.
Some of us define that goal as connecting to a community, having a big family, or excelling at a job we love. Others can’t necessarily define it but seek the abstract idea of “happiness.” Surely, once we find our “purpose” and fulfill it, we will find that elusive “happiness,” right?
Alexander Pope said, “Act well your part; there all the honor lies.” But what if you find yourself unsure of your place in this world? What if you know your part but find your goals too impossible to reach?
You need a change, and in order to get that, you need to change.
Only then will you have the confidence and focus on making that big career change or learn that new skill to help you jump into another profession. The big life changes can be scary. It can sometimes seem impossible, especially after feeling you’ve lived a whole life without changing.
