How to Get Clear on the Career You Want

Linkedin
About this episode

Just like your salary, your career path has an impact on various aspects of your life. It shapes your sense of purpose, personal growth, and financial stability. However, many find themselves unsure of their career aspirations, feeling lost or unfulfilled in their current roles. They want clarity and direction, but are unable to align their passions and skills with their professional trajectory.

Jane Jackson, a LinkedIn Top Voice and author of Navigating Career Crossroads, helps career changers get the job they love. She chats with LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman on the latest episode of Get Hired to explain how to figure out what you want out of your career. The two also discuss how to figure out what your values are and how to assess what aspect of your career is not fulfilling you. 

This episode is for anyone who wants to figure out their career trajectory — either when starting a new career or continuing a present one.
