1. Testdrive
Your
Dream
Job
in
Paris

By

The
Start
of
Your
Journey
in
the
Rodin
Museum
It
is
a
fact
that
most
people
hate
their
jobs.
It
feels
sometimes
like
the
Gates
of
Hell
of
Dante
in
the
Rodin
Museum.
They
would
rather
be
doing
something
else
–
anything
else.
It
doesn’t
have
to
be
that
way.
What
if
I
told
you
that
you
would
never
have
to
work
another
day
in
your
life?
Would
you
be
interested?
When
you
find
the
right
fit
in
a
career,
it
no
longer
feels
like
work.
You
wake
up
every
day
excited
about
how
you
earn
your
living.
This
perfect
harmonizing
of
your
talents,
skills
,
personality
and
work
style
creates
a
passion
and
a
desire
as
well
as
a
feeling
of
contentment
that
is
worth
more
than
gold.
It
can
all
be
yours,
if
you
make
the
Testdrive
your
Dreamjob
in
Paris
and
apply
its
principles.
Finding
contentment
in
your
career
is
a
lot
like
looking

2. for
a
hidden
treasure.
Using
a
map,
you
embark
on
a
journey,
an
adventure
in
search
of
yourself.
The
point
is
that
there
isn’t
a
rational
‘best’
solution
waiting
for
you.
The
Testdrive
your
Dream
Job,
the
pursuit
of
the
treasure
is
the
reward.
The
hidden
treasure
is
your
passion.
Because,
when
it
comes
to
a
Dream
Job,
there
is
no
fixed
job.
It
is
all
a
search.
Enjoying
the
search
is
what
success
is
all
about.
Our
hero
from
Midnight
in
Paris
meets
his
first
‘guide’
in
search
for
his
calling
in
a
tour
in
the
Rodin
Museum.
He
is
contemplating
his
life..
Through
the
centuries
and
generations
people
have
made
Testdrives
in
their
Dream
Jobs
in
Paris.
For
architects,
artists,
writers,
designers,
cooks,
actors
is
Paris
a
place
for
professional
inspiration.
Almost
every
one
of
them
has
come
away
invigorated,
and
more
determined
than
ever
to
make
his
or
her
dream
job
happen.

3. After
years
of
fantasy,
something
about
living
the
job
for
just
a
few
days
(or
midnights)
empowered
them
to
take
action.
Partly
it
was
the
learning
–
the
concrete
knowledge
they
gained
about
their
desired
business.
Partly
it
was
the
mentor
who
held
their
hand,
boosted
their
confidence
and
offered
ongoing
help.
In
search
for
your
passion.
In
your
dream
job.
In
your
life.
Partly
it
was
the
contacts
they
made,
which
made
taking
the
next
steps
easier.
But
above
and
beyond
those
practical
things,
there
was
something
else:
the
Testdrive
Your
Dream
Job
awakened
and
energized
something
deep
inside
them.
It
connected
them
with
the
truest
part
of
themselves,
a
part
that
had
previously
felt
dormant
and
that,
once
awakened
refused
to
be
ignored.
Our
hero
in
Midnight
in
Paris
is
finally
able
to
tell
his
story

4. You
know
–
if
you’re
considering
a
dream
job
–
that
the
push
toward
a
dream
career
is
not
just
about
how
you
spend
your
working
hours.
It’s
about
having
work
that
matches
your
values,
that
feeds
instead
of
exhausts
you,
that
doesn’t
require
you
to
leave
your
priorities
at
home
and
check
your
heart
at
the
door.
The
Rodin
Museum.
A
great
place
to
start
getting
a
new
perspective
on
your
life
and
your
dream
job.
When
we
imagine
a
dream
job,
we
imagine
a
job
in
which
we
are
fully
ourselves,
in
which
are
hearts
and
minds
are
equally
engaged.
This
engagement
is
what
people
feel
in
the
Rodin
Museum
looking
at
the
work
and
life
of
Rodin.
This
is
what
they
feel
while
making
their
Testdrive
in
their
Dream
Job.
And
once
they
reconnect
with
the
deepest
sense
of
self,
few
are
willing
to
return
to
their
status
quo.
