I admit i’ve been floundering for the past year, since being so unexpectedly “abolished” from my former job. It wasnt so much that it was a dream career choice, but it wasnt the way i’d wanted to leave the job, with it collapsing & folding up under my feet —the whole divison was dismantled. Tho, since i had a small severence, i thought it was a good opportunity to take some time and Really think & plan & explore what i really want to do in this life, with passion. I’ve gathered alot of info and formed some ideas, but as far as Getting a Job…i’m stuck. And i’ve been unemployed for so long thats its beginning to build up to a huge (unrealistic) fear about getting hired again. Thus, this book suggests, to get Unstuck, take a “Wrong Job” for awhile….
To Highlight the Strategy:
Therefore, the goals of the wrong job are:
- not to just make your boss happy
- not to impress anyone
- Get knowledge and skills for yourself
- remember that experience is always good for you
- remember everything leads somewhere, as long as you focus on what you’re doing there
And What To Do while at the Wrong Job
And once youve learned, gained, absorbed everything you can from this job, but dont know where to go next…Take another “Wrong Job”

Definately a lot of good food for thought for me…
