Design Your Dream Job: A Remote Workshop (Online) | Austin

About this class

Very few of us graduate from school with a clear idea of what we want our careers to look like. Even when we think we know what we want, there are all sorts of obstacles to landing the right job. And worst of all, when we’ve finally gotten that job that we think will make us happy, it doesn’t. A Gallup study found that nearly 70% of people feel disengaged by their work. In other words, they work because they have to, not because they want to. If that sounds like you, then join us for this solution-oriented workshop.

Using the framework of design thinking, we'll tackle designing of your life and career. This class is the real-world tested, practical and actionable guide on how to deal with career uncertainty, build confidence, and stand out in a noisy world. We will help you to discover what matters most when it comes to finding inspiring work. We’ll then teach you a clear and compelling approach to find, and get, a job you love faster. It won’t happen all at once, but this workshop can jumpstart your journey towards finding joy and meaning in your work.
