Comments on: Week Twelve Announced – Framer http://oneweekjob.com/2007/06/04/week-twelve-announced-framer/ discover your passion Sun, 20 May 2012 18:25:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: seanaiken http://oneweekjob.com/2007/06/04/week-twelve-announced-framer/comment-page-1/#comment-343 seanaiken Wed, 20 Jun 2007 21:18:23 +0000 http://www.oneweekjob.com/2007/06/04/week-twelve-announced-framer/#comment-343 Thanks for the comment Jennifer! You make a great point, how can we know a job is right for us after only one week? I am not sure that we can. It is not my intention to find the perfect fit in one of my One Week Jobs, it is more about gaining an understanding of the type of characteristics that need to be present in a work place situation in order for me to be happy. Regardless of the job I am doing week to week, I am continuing to place myself in unfamiliar, challenging situations, learning about myself, and what I want or don't want in a work place situation as a result. How would working on a dairy farm help out your finance major? If he was convinced that he would only be happy in a financial position, then it wouldn't. Although I think we all can benefit by being challenged and taken out of our comfort zone. Working on a dairy farm could provide that opportunity and he would be able to use that experience once back in his financial position. Obviously not the specific skills, but the fact that he was able to be successful despite being out of his comfort zone with the job demanding him to learn new skills. Who knows, while working at the dairy farm, he might discover that he actually would be happier if he was in a work environment that was outside. Thanks for the comment Jennifer!

This is a great and unique strategy for finding an ultimate passion, but for some, the internship of milking cows, and trekking snow shoes might not be for everyone. However, you're making an exceptional point in finding a career passion that you love through exposing yourelf to as many crafts and fields as possible, but how would working in a dairy farm help my finance major at a capital investment firm? Your statement and experience is unique with the broad number of experiences and people you are connecting with in your campaign, but I'm a little skeptical how the everyday person can incorporate your ideas into our job seeking strategies.
