Ways to Break Out of a Career Funk
A career funk can be painful and hard to break away from. Like a parasite it leeches joy and energy away from our lives, leaving us feeling lost and powerless without direction.

How to Know You’ve Chosen the Correct Career
The question of finding the right career is intimidating for even the most prepared and well rounded of us. Often, our expectations of our future careers can be widely exaggerated and unfounded. Facing the reality that your dream career may not be a dream at all is a difficult to do. Committing to a job or career path for the majority of your life isn’t a task to be taken lightly. It is difficult to find a balance between a job that is both personally fulfilling and work that is purposeful but it is extremely important to find work that you enjoy. Settling for a job or career path that you do not necessarily enjoy sets you up to become restless and yearn for more. If you are struggling with the decision to either move on or buckle down, the following tips will help you decide if you have found the right career.

Personal Details You Shouldn’t Share In a Job Interview
To prepare for a job interview, most people review what they should say and the most common questions that might be asked. Even if you have the perfect answer for every question, you may not have considered what not to say in your job interview, and this is just as crucial. Sometimes, our willingness to be honest (or frankly, to overshare) can be a bad thing. If you’re trying to land a new job, make sure to review these personal details you shouldn’t share in a job interview as part of your preparation, and you’ll be much more likely to turn that interview into a job offer.
