Building on last week’s very exciting launch of Lenny’s Jobs (that’s a lot of likes!), I’m thrilled to bring you a companion post that will help you clarify what job to look for in the first place.
Cliff Maxwell teamed up with the legend Bobby Moesta (co-creator of the Jobs to Be Done framework and a two-time guest on Lenny’s Podcast) to build Vocation, a career navigation platform that helps professionals figure out their next step.
