Self-discovery and dreaming the dream play an important role in M.A.P. Making, but without the steps to actually turn that dream into reality, it doesn't amount to much.
Often when people talk about pursuing their passion and finding work that feels meaningful, they're talking about changing careers. For some, that means self-employment or starting their own business. For others it means they have a job search in their future.
For the latter group, this site with 97 job search tips is a treasure trove of ideas and insights from a recruiter. It's the first draft of what he ultimately intends to turn into a book.

An integral part of my job search was my resume, which, sadly, was lacking. I found a company with 13 years' experience in resume revision. They're at www.careerexperts.com

Please BEWARE the company I posted above! I have sadly learned that they are NOT legit. They're a SCAM.
Stay away from ***www*careerexperts*org***

Career change in the current economic crisis may be very risky. So when you lose a job, take effective measures to increase your chances of success in landing the right job. Job search engines, job boards, and social networking plays a vital role.

I think the key to changing you career is to do something you love. I worked this out for myself about 5 years ago but this company actually has courses that help people find their calling.

If you are doing something just for the money, you will get burnt out and your lack of passion will come through in your work.
