Finding a Job That Doesn’t Suck
15. Table Talk
DIG DEEPER:
• Why is that?
REFRAME
• So what I’m
hearing you
say is that
you are most
motivated at
work when
ASK
• How can we
validate that
assumption?
23. How to Validate Your Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose Drivers:
Interview
• People there
• People not
there
• No dumb
questions
• What they
DO, not
what they
say
Observe
• Online
• Job shadow
• In-person
• Common
spaces
Research
• Glassdoor
• Social
media
• Urban
dictionary
DO
• Volunteer
• Pro Bono
consulting
• Mentor
24. Stalking is one of the most
underrated career search strategies
25. STEP 2
Get More Experience to Build
Your Skills AND Your Network
28. “You want practice to
be as close to the real
challenge as possible.
Want to be a boxer?
Hitting the bag is not
enough. You need to

opponents, like a
real match.”

1. Work experience (not “volunteer”, or “activities”, or “interests”)
2. Short and impactful statements
DO DON’T
1. Include it on your resume as part of our actual work experience

lowering overhead costs associated with technology
Call it “volunteer”, “activities”, or
“interests”
2. Highlight impact of your work

operational costs by 20% year over year
Explain the nonprofit’s mission
and summarize tasks
3. Highlight long-term impact
Completed project by implementing processes, updating technology,
and training staff to continue to improve operations, helping reach
25% more beneficiaries
Forget to include the actual
impact of your work

2. Get more experience that will actually help you
3. Build your network and skills with the right people
