The 101 Top Online Resources for Finding Your Dream Job

The 101 Top Online Resources for Finding Your Dream Job

Dream Career

“With the right tools, anything’s possible…”

As it turns out Live Your Legend is not the only website out there looking to help people do work they love (who would have thought?!).

In fact, this site would not exist if it wasn’t for many of the other sites out there that have inspired, taught and helped me along on my journey and my thinking. Live Your Legend is the sum of the sites, books, tools, experiments, case studies and people I’ve talked to over the years. That’s how I found my passion.

I’ve spent a ton of time digging through what I’ve found to be the very best resources in all of the internet for finding your dream career. This is meant to be your master resource. Bookmark it and come back as you see fit. In fact a number of the folks who run these sites are among the Expert Interviews and Case Studies as part of the How To Live Off Your Passion guide.

The sites below are in no particular order aside from the fact that the first group of sites are run by people I know and who have personally inspired me. Then I’ve listed other highly ranked resources further down.

These folks are all part of the revolution and I thank them for that. Together we are changing the world.
