Sunday Pick: Finding Purpose: Why you should stop chasing your “dream job” (w/ Emily the Recruiter) | Fixable

About this episode

<p>Does your “dream job” really exist? You may know Emily Durham as Emily the Recruiter on social media, where she shares practical, refreshingly honest career advice and coaches people through the biggest professional decisions of their lives. Emily doesn’t believe in the idea of a dream job. In this episode, she joins Anne to make the case for the “awake job” that actively fits into your purpose, lifestyle, and financial needs. Emily reflects on how her own purpose has evolved over time, and answers questions from listeners about how to gracefully quit a job, find a path forward when you feel stuck, and communicate your values to a potential employer.</p><br><p><strong>Featured guest</strong></p><ul><li>Follow Emily Durham on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/emily.the.recruiter/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Emily.Durham" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@emily.the.recruiter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>, and at <a href="https://emilydurham.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://emilydurham.org/</a></li><li>Listen to <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2XXcIx6b2NMIbY8juSlzux" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Clock In with Emily Durham</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with the team</strong></p><ul><li>Follow Anne on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/annemorriss/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-morriss" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>&nbsp;</li><li>Follow Frances on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/francesxfrei/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/francesfrei" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a></li><li>Watch Fixable videos on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TEDPods" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">youtube.com/@TEDPods</a></li><li><a href="https://anneandfrances.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Anne and Frances’ website</a></li><li>Have a question you want Anne and Frances to solve?
