Test-Drive Your Dream Job: A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding and Creating the Work You Love

by Brian Kurth and Robin Simons

New York: Business Plus, 2008

Find it, live it, love it!

Yes, you can try your hand at the career of your dreams without risking your present job, your next mortgage payment, or your kid’s future. In Test Drive Your Dream Job, you’ll discover how a “vocation vacation” -- spending a few vacation days actually working in the profession you’ve always wanted -- can be the first step toward making that dream come true. Revolutionary and practical, this hands-on program from the founder of Vocation Vacations will help you mesh your working life with your deepest sense of self as you learn how to:

  • Plan a Vocation Vacation of your own in any career
  • Build the skills and gather the knowledge you’ll need to embark on your new career
  • Overcome the fear of changing careers
  • Turn a layoff or other involuntary career change into the opportunity of a lifetime
  • Design and create a dream job that doesn’t exist…yet
  • Making a smooth, safe transition from your present job to your dream job
  • Minimize financial risk as you embark on your bold new life.

Brian Kurth is founder and president of Vocation Vacations. He lives in Portland, Oregon.
