Im a Pastor and just got fired
I\u2019m a Pastor and just got fired
You might think there are still some jobs that are immune from firing, but I can\u2019t think of any.\xa0 Last week I talked to a \u201ctenured\u201d professor who just got fired and pastors are being fired in droves.\xa0 Even the President is constantly under threat of hearing his own phrase, \u201cYou\u2019re Fired.\u201d \xa0Your security is never in the job, but in knowing how your skills transfer to multiple organizations.\xa0
Other questions we discuss:
- How does one go through a career hunting process when they are very happy in their current career but are forced to make a change?
- How can I reinvent myself for a new career?
- Every job I see I don\u2019t meet the qualifications since I am just a customer service rep.
- I recently got fired.\xa0 Should I find another job as a pastor, get my PhD or what?

Summary: In this episode, Dan reminds us that there\u2019s no job that can provide the utmost certainty and security\u2014no matter what industry or field. We exert so much energy into locking into a state of job security; perhaps what we need to do is invest in learning about our skills and the value we can offer to others. Listen as Dan shares numerous tips on how you can make use of your skills and resources; whether it\u2019s for the sake of reinventing yourself or leveraging the expertise and passions you already have.
