Imagine if there was a Tinder for jobs.

It might be called “Occupation Flirtation”.

Or “Freshen Your Profession”.

Swipe left, swipe left, swipe left… swipe right.

And if a company or employer swipes right too, it’s a match. 

Then you arrange an interview.  Just like arranging a first date.

On Tinder, people have an idea of what they’re looking for.

Some people have certain settings for gender, age or location.

Others look for shared interests, witty banter or a winning smile.

Or a combination of these.

And some people might be extremely specific. Like only swiping right on 23 year old yoga instructors called Sandy.

Anyway…

Point is, people swipe with traits in mind.

So what would you be looking for if you were swiping on Freshen Your Profession? 

In other words…

What features do you look for in a job or career?

I’m sure you’d like to get paid.  And you’d like to get paid a certain amount.

But what about the workplace culture?  Size of the company?  Or where the company is based?

What about an opportunity to use your skills?  To love what you do?  Or have a good work/life balance?

Some of these will matter to you and some won’t. 

But if you don’t know what you’re looking for…

You’ll never know when you find it.

And chances are you’ll end up matching with lots of jobs but never find that spark.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

The range of jobs available today is like Tinder.  There’s something for everyone. 

So the question is this:

If you were swiping on Freshen Your Profession this evening…

And you came across your current job…

Would you swipe right?

Or would you swipe left and keep swiping until you found something special? 

That’s it for today.
