9 writing prompts to help you figure out what’s not working in your career

your most meaningful career plan ever (as a poem)
Your career isn’t a job title – in fact, a job title is just packaging to say how you spend your day. A focus on the packaging keeps you away from meaningful career planning. So, let’s quickly plan your career. And I do mean quickly. Get ready to write it down and keep it in…
