This week's Top 10 Opportunities
Issue 788, Sun 6 April, 2025
Good morning Escapees,
Not knowing what you want next can feel overwhelming. But here’s a secret: You don’t have to start with a perfect vision of your dream career. Sometimes, the best way forward is by ruling things out.
The job that bores you to tears. The industry that makes your soul sigh. The boss who emails you at 10 PM with a “quick favour” (nope). By letting go of what’s not working, you create space for what could.
That’s what the Career Change Accelerator is all about. It’s not about forcing you into a one-size-fits-all career path—it’s about helping you strip away the noise, reconnect with what actually energises you, and move forward with clarity.
If you’re ready to stop second-guessing and start designing a career that fits you, now’s the time.
Oh and read on for this week’s Top 10 Opportunities — you never know what might just spark an idea.
Happy Escaping!
