Summary

Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=16158&preview=true) Most people plan their careers only a few times in life: when graduating college, during a career change, or due to a move. But according to Find Your Dream Job guest Anne Lapour, you should continue to plan your career on a regular basis. Anne says our personal life changes affect our careers, so as we evolve in life, we evolve in our work, as well. Self-reflection can give you clarity on what matters to you, and research will allow you to develop new skills that you can use to plan your next step. Networking is also a crucial piece and can lead to opportunities you might not have known about otherwise. About Our Guest: Anne Lapour is the executive director of career initiatives for Willamette University, where she oversees career programming, education, and advising.
