Healthcare The healthcare field is one of fastest growing fields around. More and more people are retiring out of it, American population has grown and we are living longer lives. These conditions have created a huge demand for all types of medical jobs.

Continued from page 1
- Make a list of your abilities and interests, and then see how they match. You may be doing something you’re good at, but don’t enjoy. Instead, find something you enjoy and then learn what it takes to get good at it. Serena was fortunate that her vocational calling was right under her nose. For years she helped friends and colleagues improve their writing skills through informal coaching sessions. She realized that gift for teaching others how to transform ideas into prose wasn’t just a hobby. It was a vocational calling. Today, she runs Book Coach Press, which has launched 13 book titles (including my own “P is for Perfect: Your Perfect Vocational Day”). - Don’t be afraid to move toward your goals. Many people understand need for change but are frozen in place. There’s fear that we may be jumping from frying pan into fire. When Anita lost her engineering job, she avoided self-pity and instead grasped possibilities of her new freedom. She began a journey of self-discovery that uncovered a long-undiagnosed illness, hypoglycemia and with it a new calling. She soon wrote a book on hypoglycemia. Now, she helps others understand and manage disease. Anita turned what could have been a series of unfortunate events into a new calling that has brought vocational passion to her life. Remember: No one will pull you aside at work, look you in eye, and ask if you’re really happy with your career and your life. The power to understand what’s missing and do what’s necessary to find it is yours alone. Take responsibility for change, and change will happen.
