The One-Week Job Project: One Man, One Year, 52 Jobs

THE REMARKABLE AND INSPIRING TRUE STORY OF ONE GUY WHO TRANSFORMED HIS UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE FUTURE INTO ACTION
Â
A year and a half after he graduated from college, Sean Aiken found himself struggling to answer the question â€œWhat should I do with my life?â€ His mother suggested teaching. His older sister told him to apply for an entry-level corporate position. His father said, â€œIt doesnâ€™t matter what you do, just make sure itâ€™s something youâ€™re passionate about.â€ Taking his fatherâ€™s advice to heart, Sean created the One-Week Job Project and launched himself on an epic journey to find his passion. His goal: to work fifty-two jobs in fifty-two weeks.

After the launch of his website, oneweekjob.com, the offers began pouring in. Seanâ€™s first gig wasâ€”literallyâ€”jumping off a bridge, as a bungee operator in British Columbia. From there he traveled across Canada and the United States, reinventing himself as a firefighter, an aquarium host, a radio DJ, a martial arts instructor, an NHL mascot, and a snowshoe guide. During the course of his seven-day stints, from a Florida stock-trading floor to a cattle ranch in the wilds of Wyoming to a real estate office in Beverly Hills, Sean found time to make new friends and even fall in love. Whether choosing a spring fashion line, brewing beer, or milking a cow, Sean continued to ask himself and others about what success really means and how we find happinessâ€”all while having the adventure of his life.
Â
Inventive and empowering, witty and wise, The One-Week Job Project is a book that will give you the courage to follow your passion. Or, as Mark Twain said, â€œExplore. Dream. Discover.â€
