Here's this week's SMDP Mentor Moment
The dream job doesn’t exist, but a good one does

Words of affirmation are big these days. “Don’t settle”, “Know your worth” and even “Hold out for the dream job” are just some of the mantras floating around career advice spaces. Affirmations are great. But this idea that the perfect job is out there, one where you’re constantly fulfilled, fairly paid, deeply valued, always learning, never tired, is doing more harm than good.

Log on to the SMDP Portal to view this "Mentor Moment" and don't forget to discuss this topic with your mentor/mentee - or share this content with someone else who can benefit from it.
