Looking for a new job? Wish you were? Afraid you will be? This week on The Infinite Mind, we focus on how to find "The Job For You." Dr, Fred Goodwin’s guests include Richard Bolles, author of the biggest-selling career book ever (seven million copies), "What Color Is Your Parachute?"; Dr. Ann Marie Ryan, president of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology; Dr. Steffanie Wilk, professor of Management at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania; and career coach Sharon Jordan-Evans. Also featured are a slew of career changers including oboist Blair Tindall, currently in the orchestra pit on Broadway in Man of La Mancha, but whose decision to trade the concert hall for the newsroom had some surprising consequences; management consultant Richard Cuff; teacher turned web designer Robert Boyle; and Elizabeth Betts, formerly homeless and crack-addicted, who at the age of 43 is holding down her very first full-time job... and loving it. The show also features a report on an organization called Career Transition for Dancers and how it’s helping some dancers stretch themselves in new ways. John Hockenberry offers thoughts on what constitutes the perfect job: volunteering. |
