1. Creating
Your
Dreamjob:
A
Hero’s
Journey
By
Peter
de
Kuster
We
often
view
ourselves
as
victims
of
circumstances,
as
pawns,
as
hapless
and
helpless
‘cubicle
slaves’.
We
must
remind
ourselves
that
the
Dream
Job
Revolution
will
erase
all
that.
We
must
understand
that
in
the
New
Economy
all
work
is
project
work
–
and
that
every
project
must
be
a
DREAM
JOB.
(Or
else).
(Or
Else
means:
No
role
whatsoever”
..
for
cubicle
slaves
content
to
perform
de
facto
‘rote
chores’.
My
Dream:
(And
Julie
and
Julia’s
Dream)
A
world
where
DREAMJOBS
MATTER
A
world
where
Cubicle
work
is
Banned
A
world
where
we
Learn
Something
New
Every
Day
A
world
where
we
Revel
in
the
Thrill
of
Changing
Times
A
world
where
we
can
Brag
About
What
We
Do
DREAMJOB
–
What
Is
It
Good
For?
A
Dreamjob:
a
great
story
of
a
project
with
a
beginning
and
an
end,
as
well
as
great
treasures
to
deliver
along
the
way.
Dreamjob:
one
that
has
missions,
goals
and
objectives
that
inspire.
And
inspire
others.

2. Dreamjobs
are…
• Projects
that
Matter
• Projects
that
Make
a
Difference
• Projects
that
you
can
Brag
About
• Projets
that
transform
your
World,
our
World
• Pojrects
that
Take
Your
Breath
• Projects
that
make
you/me/us/them
smile
• Projects
that
Hightlight
the
Value
You
have
and
Why
…
You
Are
Here
on
Earth
• Dreamjobs
are
…
not
a
hype
• Dreamjobs
are
..
a
necessity.
New
necessity.

3. The
‘HOW”
of
DREAMJOB
How
should
you
evaluate
a
dreamjob?
Any
project?
Every
project?
On
a
scale
of
1
to
10
rate
each
project,
each
job
more
or
less
as
follows:
1. “Another
day’s
work.
Pays
the
rent.”
4.
“
We
do
something
of
value”
7.
“
Pretty
damn
cool
(and
definitely
subversive)”
10.
“We
aim
to
change
the
world”
With
every
project,
you
should
continually
be
asking.
Is
it
a
Dreamjob?
Is
it
still
a
Dreamjob?
Does
it
take
your
breath
away?
