If you're feeling underappreciated, underpaid, disengaged or disenchanted with your work…
You're not alone.
Years back, I was in the same situation, and according to a Gallup Poll – 70% of Americans don't like their jobs.
What turned things around for me was being inspired. Because you know what?
My biggest problem was that I didn't know what was possible. I didn't know what kind of incredible opportunities were out there.
So my goal for this article is to inspire you. I'll reveal what some of the most amazing companies in the world are doing…
And then show you where to find them (plus – how to get their attention and get a job).
3 Places To Find A Job You Love In 2015 1. GameChangers 500
Founded by Andrew Hewitt, the GameChangers 500 features the world's top "For-Benefit" companies. That means they exist not purely to make a profit, but also to make a difference.
Each organization is carefully analyzed and given up to nine badges based on the criteria of a "For-Benefit" (also known as "Purpose-Driven") company.
Badges include:
