Pathway 4 — Build something that’s yours

If you’re disillusioned with your current job, you’re far from alone. Turns out, a whole generation is looking for a better road to career “success.” In the face of all this well-deserved disillusionment, I sought out the person behind the trending “millennial career crisis” hashtag to really get to the bottom of what the phenomenon is and why it seems to be affecting my generation especially. 

Janel Abrahami is a career coach whose background in organizational psychology and corporate HR, and her own career crisis, make her the ideal advisor and spokesperson for forging a better path. Janel argues that, thanks to a heap of daunting factors, a “successful career” looks a lot different than it did in our parents’ day. She joins me to break down her six pathways that help us take back ownership of our careers in the face of despair and disillusionment

Retake control and design your own success:

• Six pathways that let you choose your own adventure;
• Why career dissatisfaction seems to be hitting millennials hard right now;
• The importance of resting before we jump and strategizing before we build;
• The broken social construct facing everyone working today.
