Our new way to search for purposeful work

Issue 811, Sun 14 September, 2025

Dear Escapees,

Most stories get told as neat before-and-after snapshots. Stuck >> breakthrough. Miserable job >> dream role.

But the hardest part is usually the bit in between - when you know you can’t keep going as you are, but you’re not yet sure what comes next. Maybe you keep tweaking your CV without sending it, daydream about a different career on your commute, or sign up to webinars hoping something will click. The doubts, the small tests, the false starts.

That’s exactly what came through in our live Q+A last week with two Career Change Accelerator alumni. Madeleine shared how testing side projects slowly nudged her into a career in copywriting she hadn’t imagined. Phil, fresh from our most recent cohort, spoke about the moment he knew he couldn’t stay put - and the momentum he’s found since.

 You can watch the Q+A recording here.

If you’re in that in-between stage yourself, this is your chance to step out of it. Applications for the Career Change Accelerator close in 10 days (25th Sept). Confirm your place by this Thursday (18th Sept) and you’ll also get a free 1:1 coaching session.

And if that’s not what you’re looking for right now, here are the top 10 opportunities to keep you moving this week.
