How do you break free from an unfulfilling job and discover your dream career?

Nick J. Murphy

Nick J. Murphy has been at the leading edge of the job world as an entrepreneur and in corporate dot.com, working for Indeed, Monster and CareerBuilder. For Nick, known by many as ‘The Jobs Guy’, his consistent approach and theme has been all about thwarting tradition.

Nick challenges and inspires his clients to think differently, be ready for what is next and act quickly. His expertise and insights have been featured by Fox Business, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo.com, ERE.net, The Arizona Republic and many regional outlets and he has consulted in the talent space for numerous Fortune 1000 organizations, including Banner Healthcare, CVS and West Corporation.

He is the CEO of Mid-America Careers, a Personal Transformation Strategist, Speaker, Former NFL Athlete, and Host of the Transform U Podcast.

In today’s conversation, Nick shares how his NFL career ended at 26 years old, forcing him to learn new skills and explore new career avenues. This led Nick to the recruitment industry and later into entrepreneurship where he launched his own job board. Today he is all about life, career, and business transformation as he helps people overcome their fears and discover freedom and fulfillment in a career they love.

His new book “Unboxed” comes out in January 2019 and will provide readers with the tools and insights on where to start if you hate your job and want a change. Passionate, creative and to the point, Nick will give you the inspiration and impetus to create the life you truly desire.

Key Takeaways

1. Once you know your WHY, ask yourself how you want to spend your days – your time. Design your career with how you want to live your life.
2. Following your passion is overplayed. Follow your curiosity. When you’re curious it doesn’t feel like work.
3. Is your job going to be around? 30% of jobs will be 50% automatable by 2030 with just the technology that is available right now.
4. 85% of people are not engaged or are actively disengaged in their job.
5. Early, mid, late career – your priorities and needs change.
6. Are you really unsatisfied or are you misinterpreting something in your workplace?
7. Talk to someone who can be the mirror for you.
8. Talk to people who are already doing what you think you want to do.
