My guest today teaches people how to fall in love with their work, just like they fall in love with their life partner. It doesn't always happen overnight, but the effort it takes to get there is worth it.
Dr Benjamin Ritter has a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership with a focus on value congruence and job satisfaction, and knows a thing or two about our topic today.
In today's conversation on the How I Got Hired Podcast , Ben shares his own squiggly path and how that has led to his current success:
- Knocking on doors and got hired to work as a Graduate Assistant to finance his graduate program
- Turning a voluntary opportunity into a paying gig. What?
- Dealing with rejections for 2.5 years after graduation
- Getting hired for unusual jobs over the years, because he chose to say 'yes' to everything, make unforgettable memories and saved money for studies.
(Think zombie, mannequin at the museum etc!)
- His 3 step process to fall in love with your work
.. and so much more.
