At the front, a man in a football jersey and jeans sat next to a projector talking to students and drinking out of his water bottle.

Every woman wants to find her ideal career. However, an ideal career isn’t just a great position with competitive pay; people leave jobs like that all the time. An ideal career is both a perfect fit for the position and within the organization, which might seem like a lofty goal for those who are job searching. The solution? Research. Research a lot.
