Scott Barlow struggled to land on a major that fit in college.  He just never felt like he knew what he wanted to do. It wasn’t until he was fired from his first job, which he hated, that he really began trying to find something that was a good fit for him. Scott found his way into HR and eventually discovered both a knack for and interest in helping people answer the same kinds of questions that he struggled with back in college.

Today Scott and the team at Happen To Your Career help people identify how they want to be spending their time, what they love to do that they have the potential to be great at and how they can transition that into their career.

In this episode, Scott shares why it’s a process of continuous iteration and how those iterations have played out in his own life.
