This session will give attendees a fresh perspective on job search, career planning and entrepreneurship by introducing the concept of a "dream job."

To support this concept, the presenter will cover three main topics: (1) what is a definition of a dream job, (2) how to discover your dream job, and (3) how to find the person who will pay you for doing your dream job. The session will engage the audience in the discussion of the impact of embracing your dream job and how it can dramatically improve your efforts toward job search, career planning and entrepreneurship.

Light refreshments will be served.
