Find Your Dream Career With These 5 Blog Posts

As I was finishing college back in late 2015, I thought I had my future figured out. I had a great part-time job with wonderful people, and quickly landed a three-month social media internship with potential for a full-time dream career.

I was well on my way towards the American dream: received my degree and paved a path for a successful career in my area of study.

Of course, life threw a curveball and the internship did not pan out as expected. I decided to continue with my original part-time job at Disney instead of staying with my internship team. Which is completely okay; I learned plenty about myself and what I was looking for in a future job.

However, this left me somewhat back to searching for a career. I had always thought I knew exactly the kind of job I wanted, but after some real experience I discovered that I’d need to tweak my goals into something a little different.

After a few months of searching, apply, and interviewing, I landed my first full-time job as a Marketing Manager. Throughout the job hunt process I scoured and discovered plenty of helpful articles and blog posts on Pinterest to help find an enjoyable job. I even found an amazing book that helps you “find the work you’re meant to do.”

If this sounds like you, or you’re simply curious to see if you’re on the right path, here are five of my favorite articles and blog posts to help you find your passion and a dream career you love.
