Episode notes

Marie says she was burned out and desperate for a change. She moved away from her partner to take the new job, but it's not a good fit. Marie: "I feel really discouraged, and I'm not sure how to find my way forward"

Listener Marie asks, "When looking for niche job roles that match your criteria, how do you have patience in the process?"

Every week on the SPARKED podcast, we invite a listener to share what’s going on in their work & life, then pose a specific question to Jonathan Fields and a rotating lineup of wise and kind mentors - the SPARKED Braintrust.

In today’s episode we’re in conversation with:

QUESTION: Listener, Marie, shares a story of her job scouting that is aiming to strike the ideal balance between role & organization fit, skillset match and desirable location.

She expresses her frustration with the apparent lack of appealing options and asks is there a way to reframe her situation? Marie puts forward the query, how do you find niche industry roles that match your search criteria and is there a way to look outside the box if you’re feeling discouraged with the search process?
