Begin Your Ideal Career Scavenger Hunt today! It’s hard to believe that spring is already here! With Easter so early this year, it seems like the seasons are flying by too quickly. Spring time brings back fond memories of flying kites, Easter egg hunts, and playing outside. To help you get in the mood for spring, we are kicking it off with an Ideal Career Scavenger Hunt. If you are ready to get on the hunt for your ideal career, here are the 5 things you need to do to participate. See the bottom for where to submit your answers and receive a complimentary copy of our  Career Transition book!    Destination #1 on Your Ideal Career Scavenger Hunt People You Know  Brainstorm career options with people you know. This will give you a different perspective about your unique skill set, personality or even past work experiences. Utilizing your friends and family is a great place to start the hunt for your ideal career!    Destination #2 on Your Ideal Career Scavenger Hunt Online Resources  Websites such as mypursuit.com and onetonline.org can really help you narrow in on your ideal career.

Schedule and conduct one informational interview per week.    Destination #4 on Your Ideal Career Scavenger Hunt Networking Events  Attend two networking events this month in industries that you are considering. This will help you to learn more about the industry that you want to be part of.
