Three innovators offer a road-tested framework for career development that helps anyone make real progress on their path when they switch jobs.Each year, an estimated 1 billion people switch jobs worldwide. A lucky few stumble into the role of their dreams, but hundreds of millions are disappointed. What if, when looking for a job, we could make more informed choices to better select the opportunity we seize? What if the power to move along our career paths lies with each of us, as opposed to hiring managers or the market?According to the "Jobs to Be Done" theory of product design - customers don't simply buy products; they recruit them to do specific jobs that solve a problem. Job Moves adopts this model to view jobs as positions we "hire" to help us make progress in our lives and careers.
