Why is getting the job you like and can do best so important?

As Woodrow Wilson put it, "We are not here merely to make a living. We are here to enrich the world". Over the past three decades my wife Sara and I have helped thousands of American and European executives, mid-level professionals, students, career changers and people just entering the job market after completing their Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral degrees to get jobs which match correctly the career goals, qualifications and interests of individuals with specific needs of organizations. As a result, we have found that all job seekers who want to arrive at a job they can like and can do best need to be proficient at one essential task:
Presenting themselves directly to potential employers in ways that produce job interviews and offers.

We have outlined and explained the basic job-search essentials in our 9th book on careers and career development called "21st Century Jobs" in order to help people secure what just about everyone wants: THE JOB THAT YOU LIKE AND CAN DO BEST. This blog, "Your Next Job" is devoted to helping you to better understand how to use our book, "21st Century Jobs" to  your best advantage and get the job of getting a job you like and can do best done as soon as possible. In fact, we are enabling you to have your own system to beat the system.

Looking for work

My wife Sara and I own a business. This seems to be the answer for looking for work--start your own company. But in reality, owning a business means you're always looking for work--for customers, projects and programs that people need. We're looking for work in Prague, both with our established programs and with new ones, to meet newly-discovered needs. Something about work itself declares that it's always changing. People's needs and what's available to meet those needs work together symbiotically--the need causes the new offering, which gives birth to a new need. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work

Why work?

Too often people get jobs because they need money. Well, you say, why else would they get a job? I look at it differently. I believe that we need to work, to be productive, to be useful, in order to be fully human. We need to be part of our society in a meaningful way, and that's what work accomplishes. The fact that we need money is only a spur to overcome any natural inertia or laziness that would keep us from working.
