Defining Career Preferences

It's essential to prioritize what one wants from a company rather than just focusing on job titles when considering a career change. By shifting attention to the kind of organization that aligns with personal values and aspirations, individuals can gain the clarity needed to filter their options effectively. Such specificity helps avoid scattering efforts across numerous job applications that yield minimal results. The experience shared by a nurse demonstrates that targeting specific organizations, rather than applying broadly to many jobs, can lead to more fulfilling career paths.
