- Treat your new career search a bit like detectives on a crime drama. … “You want to look at your natural talents, your personality traits, the kinds of functions that you won’t get tired of doing that you can do all day, or a set of functions that you could do throughout the day….” Collect the data and start piecing together the picture that emerges from those details.

You’ve got to come up with this whole strategy first so that you have some clarity around your actions, and then you start moving into the actual doing of things,” she says. Only in moving forward can you make that dream a reality.
