Build the career you want—on your terms.
"Where do you see yourself in five years?" If this question makes you nauseous, you're not alone. Starting out in the working world is hard enough, but thinking long-term about our career—and whether we even want a capital-C "career"—can be daunting and exhausting. Fortunately, there are concrete steps you can take to build a career that fits your interests, needs, and passions.
Experience, Opportunity, and Developing Your Career is filled with practical advice from HBR experts that can help you answer questions like: Should I choose to follow my passion, or focus on the paycheck? How can I know if a job is really right for me? What are my values, and how can they help me figure out what I want? Are there ways to make the most of the skills and experience I already have? What does it even mean to build a career? And how can I move on if I realize I'm on the wrong path?
This book will help you define the career that fits you, so you can align your passions and values with your daily work.
