New “Vocations” Blog Provides Insight Into “Life, Work, and Meaning” From Interviews With People In Wide Variety of Positions
I’m very pleased to announce my first “sub-blog,”
Vocations in the Workplace, at employmentblawg.com/vocations/.
The summer project of my daughter Emily, who will be a senior in college this fall, it is funded by a grant from The Miller Center Vocations Initiative at Hendrix College, which “designs, funds and oversees a variety of programs created for the purpose of helping participants explore the content and nature of their life’s true calling.”
Wow! True calling? That’s a tall order. But Emily’s up for the challenge.
Swapping her past summers’ “vocation” of lifeguarding for modern e-journalism/blogging, she’s making the rounds with her digital recorder, interviewing what will surely be an interesting variety of people. She’s starting with people we know in our community, but hopes to extend outward from there.
Her blog posts based on these interviews will incorporate audio clips from the interviews, and perhaps also photos, which can provide a lively addition to the written content.
