Have you felt like your job history is a barrier to getting interviews due to career changes? It used to be that switching careers could alarm potential employers. Nowadays, it’s entirely normal to change careers multiple times. Surprisingly, these shifts are often driven by the pursuit of happiness rather than wealth.
Marci Alboher, author of One Person/Multiple Careers: A New Model for Work/Life Success, introduces the concept of the "slash effect." The slashes in her book’s title emphasize having multiple career paths.
Marci was once a successful but unhappy corporate lawyer who desired to become a writer. Transitioning from a high-paying, long-term position was challenging. She mentioned in an interview with Time Magazine’s blog:
"It's really hard to leave a job you're trained for, rewarded for, and excel at. A friend remarked, 'I can’t believe you’re so good at a job you hate so much.'"
Marci's experience isn't unique. High earners can be just as unhappy as those with lower incomes. Sometimes it's even more difficult. If lifestyle expenses rise with income?"like buying a bigger house or a new car?"you might feel trapped in a job you dislike. The choice becomes staying in a job you hate or downsizing for a more fulfilling career.
True career satisfaction comes from aligning your skills with your passions. This requires reflection and perhaps guidance from trusted mentors or counselors. You need to discover what skills bring you joy during your workday.
I believe job satisfaction?"or the lack thereof?"can be a way God guides us. So, don’t be disheartened if you're a "career slasher." Life is too short to dread work. Discover your purpose and pursue it passionately.
