Summary

Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=15087&preview=true) It’s not unusual for someone to get a few years into their career and wonder if they’re headed in the right direction. Choosing a major in college doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be happy in that field for years to come. How do you know if you’re on the right path? According to Find Your Dream Job guest Kyle Kavas, you start by asking yourself 3 questions- do you like your job? Do you like your coworkers? Do you align with the company and its values? If the answers to those questions are yes, it’s likely you’ve chosen the right path, at least for now. About Our Guest: Kyle Kavas the president of UPLIFT Leadership. It’s a nonprofit that helps people figure out who they are, what they want to do, and how to uplift others. Resources in This Episode: Kyle and the team at UPLIFT Leadership have programs for young professionals and students who identify as underemployed.
