How to find work you love | Bob Moesta (Jobs-to-be-Done co-creator, author of "Job Moves”)

You just wrote a new book called Job Moves That I Have Right Here. What's kinda just the big idea behind this book? The moment you stop making progress in your career is the moment you start looking for another job. And so over the last Fifteen years, we've interviewed over a thousand people. I've coached almost a thousand people because I think there's a billion people a year who switch jobs. And ultimately, most of them end up with a job that's worse than the one they were at, but they don't know how to find it. They don't know themselves well enough. There's a very tactical piece of advice in your book, which is the idea of a job case. When you're in a startup, it changes who you are. And the moment that you get out of that environment, you need to take the time to reset your mind and your body.

It's not just about the money because you start to realize money is a surrogate for respect or I've got bills to pay or I'm falling behind. Money has actually many, many different implications to it. Cause everybody wants more money. But the question is why do you want more money? Today my guest is Bob Masta. Bob is the co-creator of the Jobs to Be Done framework. And worked alongside Clay Christensen for many years.

He's also started nine different companies. He's currently the co-founder and CEO of the Rewired Group. This is Bob's second visit to the podcast. In our first conversation, we got super deep on the jobs to be done framework. In this conversation, we talk about his new book that he believes is going to be even more impactful to the world than the Jobs to be done framework. The book is call moves. It's basically a very tactical guide to finding a job that you love. I won't give it away, but if you're struggling to find a job
