“If you want to find the tools to figure out what you want to do, and how to find your Soul Career, then this is definitely the place.”
When we think about careers we usually think of it as something we should chase. In Soul Career you get the ability to really slow down and assess what you want.
“It’s easy to get caught up with the situations and the overwhelming time we’re in. I’ve learned to stay positive and stay occupied.”
“Soul Career was definitely worth it. It took me on a journey of self-reflection in the beginning. And then introduced job search tools at the end. I learned about myself and what I need to do to get the job that I want.”
