This month’s Career Development Carnival had a theme to challenge the creative juices of our career experts: Which came first? The Chicken or the Egg?
We asked them to think about the conversations they have with people who believe that one action or thought has to come first and ask the question…does it really? Usually there is no one right answer and yields some discussions and debates.
If you find the career expert’s comments interesting be sure to let them know by sharing their post within your social networks or by commenting directly with your personal comment or question.
April’s Career Development Carnival will be hosted by Hannah Morgan at CareerSherpa.net.
