Not sure what to do after quitting her corporate job, Turliuk, now CEO of MakerKids, went on a "self-education" journey. After a conversation with international career expert John Krumboltz, Turliuk put his advice to the test by "prototyping" different work experiences while interviewing industry leaders and professors. Through these experiences, she not only discovered what she wanted but also developed a career-design process that anyone can use, and this book is the result. It begins with background research and anecdotes, and then delves into the career prototyping steps. Readers will find lists like "Twelve Tools to Know Thyself" and tips for using each one and why. For example, Turliuk suggests taking a digital detox to ward off depression and to rid yourself of a constant information attack. Next, she has readers focus on their top three career options, with advice on resumes, interviewing, online branding, and more. Using this research-based advice, readers will be able to discover their ideal profession. This book will appeal to college-bound readers, career switchers, or anyone searching for what to do next.
