Are you struggling to find the Career Path that God intended for your life?  Did you fall into a job by necessity, meaning that you needed to pay bills and a job opportunity presented itself and you grabbed it?  Did your parents have a say-so in your career choice and now you are living out their dreams and expectations?  Or maybe you’re someone who doesn’t even know what God wants you to do with all your talents, skills and abilities. All you know is that you feel empty and unfulfilled in your work. You feel as though you contribute little or nothing to the common good. You know that God wants you “to bloom where you’re planted” but you feel starved for a meaningful job, so much so, that it’s difficult to talk about Christ at work because your attitude doesn’t reflect your Christian walk. 

If you are in this situation, be comforted in knowing that you are not alone.  Hundreds, if not thousands of career seekers find themselves in this predicament. Finding the right career or moving from one career to another is something of an art form. It requires a certain frame of mind and a set of Career Decision-making skills that few of us possess.
