I want a career change but I don’t know how or where to start.
Symptom:
I swing from not moving to going for any job in the same industry just to feel like I’m doing something.

I think there must be a perfect job for me out there if only I could find it.

I’m waiting for my career epiphany and the sign to move to the next career, but I’ve been waiting a long time.
