Answer the Call | Christian Career Coaching

“I wish I could spend my days giving people gifts – but is that even a real job?”

“I love organizing data in Excel – what career could that lead to?”

“Curating art and planning events sounds like my dream – can I actually make a living doing it?”

If thoughts like these are holding you back, this episode is exactly what you need.

Here’s the thing: if you followed the steps in last week’s episode, you already have a sense of what excites you – but it might feel too unclear or impractical. Here’s the truth: there’s likely a real job out there for it.

In this episode, we’ll show you how to turn those vague dreams into specific job titles and actionable career steps. Whether you’re just starting to explore your options or already have a few roles in mind, this conversation will bring the clarity you’ve been looking for.

Audrey and I discuss:

- How to research job roles and uncover opportunities you never knew existed.

- Why making a list of likes and concerns is crucial for finding the right fit.

- The power of reaching out to professionals for insights and clarity.

- Turning assumptions about jobs into actionable questions to guide your decision.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear framework to identify a career that aligns with your skills, passions, and calling.
