Danny Miranda On Living Your True Purpose

#499: I heard this from a former colleague yesterday. Let me know if this sounds familiar:   "After the events of last fall, I've adopted an "always on" career search mindset. I'm doing a lot of shameless self-promotion to attract people to my brand, in case my current gig goes to crap like the last one did. Not going to get caught with my pants down again."  This feeling is what I'm on a mission to banish. I believe the way we can "always be ready" is to learn the principles of adaptability and resilience, and then apply those in our lives.  As someone who has changed careers 6 times, I know how to stay on my toes, and I have a lot to teach on this topic which I'll share in this epsiode.

Hatem Hanoun works for Bayt.com the #1 job site in Dubai and surrounding region. He shares with us his advice for the job hunt. Since that region is facing 20-30% unemployment for young people we focus on strategies for gaining experience that you can leverage in your job interviews. It may be an unpaid, volunteer, experience but if it gives you relevant experience to talk about in an interview then it may be worth it. For Some in the middle-east, volunteering might be the only way to gain valuable experience and stop staring into the abyss of rejection caused by not having any experience. For listeners in the US, it may be a 'long game' strategy worth a try. Host Justin Dux.
