A Working Vacation

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get your dream job? It can take years to get the education and develop the skills you need for the perfect job. However, there is a way to experience your dream job without having to get the required training or degree. Since 2004, Brian Kurth’s company, Vocation Vacations, has been connecting people with mentors who have the jobs of their dreams.

Kurth had been working for a phone company before starting his own company. He didn’t like his job, and he had a long time to think about it on his drive to and from work. He also thought about his dream job while driving. He was interested in becoming a dog trainer, but he didn’t want to take any chances and switch to a field he didn’t have experience in. He really wanted to know what the job was like and if it was realistic for him to work towards his goal. So, he found a mentor – a dog trainer that could tell him about the job and everything it involved. After that, he helped his friends find mentors to explore jobs they were interested in. They thought it was helpful to talk to people who had their dream jobs before spending lots of time and money getting the training they needed for those jobs.

Kurth saw how much this helped his friends, so he decided to turn it into his business. He started Vocation Vacations in 2004, and by 2005, the company was offering experience with over 200 dream jobs. Today, about 300 mentors work with the company to share their knowledge about their jobs. Customers pay to experience the job of their dreams and work with these mentors to see what a job is really like. A “job vacation” costs between $350 and $3,000 and can be for one to three days. Many people use Vocation Vacations to see if their dream job is a career path they want to continue. Others do it just to experience the job of their dreams one time.

Vocation Vacations jobs are in the fields of fashion, food, entertainment, sports and animals. Many people want to try glamorous jobs. For example, they want to try working as actors, music producers, photographers and fashion designers. According to Kurth, some other popular dream jobs are working as bakers, hotel managers and wedding planners.

Một kỳ nghỉ làm việc

Bạn đã bao giờ tự hỏi sẽ như thế nào khi bạn có công việc mơ ước? Có thể mất nhiều năm để có được sự giáo dục và phát triển các kỹ năng bạn cần cho một công việc hoàn hảo. Tuy nhiên, có một cách để trải nghiệm công việc mơ ước của bạn mà không cần phải có sự đào tạo hay bằng cấp. Từ năm 2004, công ty của Brian Kurth, Vocation Vacations, đã kết nối mọi người với những người cố vấn có công việc mơ ước của họ.

Kurth đã làm việc cho một công ty điện thoại trước khi bắt đầu thành lập công ty riêng của mình. Anh ấy không thích công việc của mình, và anh ấy đã có một thời gian dài để suy nghĩ về nó trên đường đến và đi làm. Anh cũng nghĩ về công việc mơ ước của mình khi lái xe. Anh ta có hứng thú đến việc trở thành một người huấn luyện chó, nhưng anh ta không muốn nắm bắt bất kỳ cơ hội và chuyển sang một lĩnh vực mà anh ta không hề có kinh nghiệm. Anh ta thực sự muốn biết công việc đó như thế nào và khi làm việc hướng tới mục tiêu của mình thì có thực tế không. Vì vậy, anh đã tìm thấy một người cố vấn – một người huấn luyện chó có thể nói với anh về công việc và tất cả mọi thứ liên quan. Sau đó, anh ấy đã giúp bạn bè tìm những người cố vấn để khám phá những công việc mà họ quan tâm. Họ nghĩ rằng thật hữu ích khi nói chuyện với những người có công việc mơ ước của họ trước khi dành nhiều thời gian và tiền bạc để được đào tạo cần thiết cho những công việc đó.

Kurth thấy điều này đã giúp bạn bè của mình nhiều như thế nào, vì vậy anh quyết định biến nó thành công việc kinh doanh của mình. Anh bắt đầu Vocation Vacations năm 2004 và đến năm 2005, công ty đã cung cấp trải nghiệm với hơn 200 công việc mơ ước. Hiện nay, có khoảng 300 cố vấn làm việc với công ty để chia sẻ kiến thức về công việc của họ. Khách hàng trả tiền để trải nghiệm công việc mơ ước của họ và làm việc với những người cố vấn này để xem công việc đó thực sự là như thế nào. Một “kỳ nghỉ làm việc” có giá từ 350 đến 3,000 đô la và có thể kéo dài từ một đến ba ngày. Nhiều người sử dụng Vocation Vacations để xem công việc mơ ước của họ có phải là con đường sự nghiệp mà họ muốn tiếp tục hay không. Những người khác làm điều đó chỉ để trải nghiệm công việc mơ ước của họ một lần.

Các ngành nghề của Vocation Vacations bao gồm các lĩnh vực thời trang, thực phẩm, giải trí, thể thao và động vật. Nhiều người muốn thử những công việc hấp dẫn. Ví dụ, họ muốn thử làm diễn viên, nhà sản xuất âm nhạc, nhiếp ảnh gia và nhà thiết kế thời trang. Theo Kurth, một số công việc mơ ước phổ biến khác đang làm thợ làm bánh, quản lý khách sạn và người tổ chức đám cưới.

Anh ấy không thích công việc của mình, và anh ấy đã có một thời gian dài để suy nghĩ về nó trên đường đến và đi làm. Anh cũng nghĩ về công việc mơ ước của mình khi lái xe. Anh ta có hứng thú đến việc trở thành một người huấn luyện chó, nhưng anh ta không muốn nắm bắt bất kỳ cơ hội và chuyển sang một lĩnh vực mà anh ta không hề có kinh nghiệm. Anh ta thực sự muốn biết công việc đó như thế nào và khi làm việc hướng tới mục tiêu của mình thì có thực tế không. Vì vậy, anh đã tìm thấy một người cố vấn – một người huấn luyện chó có thể nói với anh về công việc và tất cả mọi thứ liên quan. Sau đó, anh ấy đã giúp bạn bè tìm những người cố vấn để khám phá những công việc mà họ quan tâm. Họ nghĩ rằng thật hữu ích khi nói chuyện với những người có công việc mơ ước của họ trước khi dành nhiều thời gian và tiền bạc để được đào tạo cần thiết cho những công việc đó.

Kurth thấy điều này đã giúp bạn bè của mình nhiều như thế nào, vì vậy anh quyết định biến nó thành công việc kinh doanh của mình. Anh bắt đầu Vocation Vacations năm 2004 và đến năm 2005, công ty đã cung cấp trải nghiệm với hơn 200 công việc mơ ước. Hiện nay, có khoảng 300 cố vấn làm việc với công ty để chia sẻ kiến thức về công việc của họ. Khách hàng trả tiền để trải nghiệm công việc mơ ước của họ và làm việc với những người cố vấn này để xem công việc đó thực sự là như thế nào. Một “kỳ nghỉ làm việc” có giá từ 350 đến 3,000 đô la và có thể kéo dài từ một đến ba ngày. Nhiều người sử dụng Vocation Vacations để xem công việc mơ ước của họ có phải là con đường sự nghiệp mà họ muốn tiếp tục hay không. Những người khác làm điều đó chỉ để trải nghiệm công việc mơ ước của họ một lần.

Các ngành nghề của Vocation Vacations bao gồm các lĩnh vực thời trang, thực phẩm, giải trí, thể thao và động vật. Nhiều người muốn thử những công việc hấp dẫn. Ví dụ, họ muốn thử làm diễn viên, nhà sản xuất âm nhạc, nhiếp ảnh gia và nhà thiết kế thời trang. Theo Kurth, một số công việc mơ ước phổ biến khác đang làm thợ làm bánh, quản lý khách sạn và người tổ chức đám cưới.

A Working Vacation

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get your dream job? It can take years to get the education and develop the skills you need for the perfect job. However, there is a way to experience your dream job without having to get the required training or degree. Since 2004, Brian Kurth’s company, Vocation Vacations, has been connecting people with mentors who have the jobs of their dreams.

Kurth had been working for a phone company before starting his own company. He didn’t like his job, and he had a long time to think about it on his drive to and from work. He also thought about his dream job while driving. He was interested in becoming a dog trainer, but he didn’t want to take any chances and switch to a field he didn’t have experience in. He really wanted to know what the job was like and if it was realistic for him to work towards his goal. So, he found a mentor – a dog trainer that could tell him about the job and everything it involved. After that, he helped his friends find mentors to explore jobs they were interested in. They thought it was helpful to talk to people who had their dream jobs before spending lots of time and money getting the training they needed for those jobs.

Kurth saw how much this helped his friends, so he decided to turn it into his business. He started Vocation Vacations in 2004, and by 2005, the company was offering experience with over 200 dream jobs. Today, about 300 mentors work with the company to share their knowledge about their jobs. Customers pay to experience the job of their dreams and work with these mentors to see what a job is really like. A “job vacation” costs between $350 and $3,000 and can be for one to three days. Many people use Vocation Vacations to see if their dream job is a career path they want to continue. Others do it just to experience the job of their dreams one time.

Vocation Vacations jobs are in the fields of fashion, food, entertainment, sports and animals. Many people want to try glamorous jobs. For example, they want to try working as actors, music producers, photographers and fashion designers. According to Kurth, some other popular dream jobs are working as bakers, hotel managers and wedding planners.

Một kỳ nghỉ làm việc

Bạn đã bao giờ tự hỏi sẽ như thế nào khi bạn có công việc mơ ước? Có thể mất nhiều năm để có được sự giáo dục và phát triển các kỹ năng bạn cần cho một công việc hoàn hảo. Tuy nhiên, có một cách để trải nghiệm công việc mơ ước của bạn mà không cần phải có sự đào tạo hay bằng cấp.
