Connectedness in Careers

- For young adults entering the workforce, consider dedicating a year or so to a service organization such as the Peace Corps or Habitat for Humanity. It will broaden your sense of the world and likely give you a more defined sense of what you want to do in your career.
- The beauty of Connectedness is its ability to be a benefit in many fields. Just remember that this talent needs interactions with others to feel content. Avoid jobs with a focus on routine procedures or working in isolation, as these types of positions may feel draining to you.
