Being young, wild and free is fun until you realize that it doesn’t pay your bills or put food on your table. If you are an undercover career girl like me then you certainly understand the struggle of wanting to have all the time in the world to enjoy yourself but also the need to have a clear career path.

I like to call this era of my life “choose your own adventure book” where I explore new opportunities in my career and avenues for career growth. In this blogpost, we're going to unravel what I refer to as the secret formula for finding your career path and attaining ultimate success: "Explore Learning Careers"! So, fasten your seatbelt, because we're about to take off on a thrilling journey to unleash our full potential and get on the first step to discovering career paths.

Embrace the Adventure: Navigating Your Career with Explore Learning Careers

Setting the Stage: Imagine your career as an uncharted territory, brimming with untapped potential and hidden treasures. It's time for us to navigate through the wide array of choices and discover our hidden gems.

Now, let's dive into the nitty-gritty of how to embark on this exhilarating journey:

Quest 1: Explore Learning Careers to Identify Your Passions: Think of this as selecting your character in a role-playing game. For the longest time I struggled with identifying what I wanted to be. In my head, I have been a doctor, a lawyer, a pilot, an actress. At one point I was convinced all I needed was to marry a filthy rich billionaire and adventure round the world. (that’s still a lowkey dream but that’s not why we are here today). 

It took me a few opportunities to discover what my interests were and what I enjoyed doing. So, in identifying your passion, I’d ask two questions for you to ponder on- 

1. What makes your heart race? 

2. What sparks your curiosity?

 Identify your passions and wield them like superpowers.

Quest 2: Explore Learning Careers: Try, Fail, Learn, Repeat: I started off my career right after I graduated as an executive assistant. It was my first job so you can imagine how that went. Right now, I'm on the journey of becoming a brand strategist and one thing I'm learning is that in the world of exploring learning careers, there's no such thing as game over. Failures are an opportunity to restructure and level up. Who knows, the next time I'm writing I might be on the path to becoming an Astronaut. Point is, do not fear the "Retry" button; embrace it!

Quest 3: Explore Learning Careers: Network Like a Pro: If you are a shy girl like me, you will understand the struggles of starting off conversations with strangers. However, it is necessary to connect with mentors, business owners and fellow adventurers because you never know where your next big thing can come from. Your network is your guild in this grand adventure. Share your quests, seek advice, and collect wisdom like treasure.
