WORDS OF ADVICE
2. A CAREER EXPERT WEIGHS IN ON HOW TO SEARCH FOR A JOB IN A PANDEMIC
| This week we’re talking to Dr. Orin Davis, professor of positive psychology and a career coach on how to best utilize our time right now to find a new career. YOU EARNED THE FIRST DOCTORATE IN POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY. WHAT IS POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY AND HOW DOES IT HELP US IN THESE CRAZY TIMES? Positive psychology is generally referred to as “the science of human flourishing,” and focuses primarily on how we can live our best lives. There are many things we can be doing to make sure we’re not just surviving, but thriving. Cultivating gratitude, for example, can be very helpful, as can finding experiences to savor. We can also work to develop and foster high-quality connections, and seek out opportunities to experience flow. HOW CAN PEOPLE BUILD A PATH TO THE NEXT STEPS IN THEIR CAREERS? When people are thinking about pivoting their careers, they need to consider which conception of work they have, and how they want to contribute to the world (whether through skills, passions, knowledge, abilities, etc.). Build identity capital, where your unique talents are translated into an offering that the world will value and pay for. HOW CAN I UPSKILL MYSELF? Pick up new skills by taking free classes via Coursera or any of the Ivy League schools. Find and do the things that you would do if you weren’t going to get paid for it. They not only keep you sane, they give you opportunities to develop in ways that can readily apply to the job market, your side hustle, or your next startup. Try free courses from Linkedin. |
