Interested in Taking a Summer Vocation?

That's not a typo, I just read a great article this morning in the LA Times about a company called Vocation Vacations. Company founder, Brian Kurth, had the ingenious idea to pair people interested in test driving their dream job with mentors who are already successful in that particular field. A real-life vocation-oriented Fantasy Island experience--with a starting a price of around $375. As a resume writer and career coach, I work with a lot of people who want to transition out of their profession but are hesitant to leave the security of their current employment situation. What an innovative way to get your feet wet before completely diving into a new career! For more information about the company and to see a full listing of the opportunities they offer, go to www.vocationvacations.com. Here's a link to the LA Times Article: ( http://www.latimes.com/classified/jobs/career/la-tr-vocation30oct30,0,552257.story?coll=la-class-employ-career). Enjoy!
