Career Exploration Through Collage Charles H. Miksicek Originally posted as a series of installments on https://ello.co/ccruzme Spring 2017 (compiled May 2020) Career / Life / Self Exploration Through Collage: A Personal (Personnel) Odyssey I Amorphous Job Search, Collage 18" x 12", 2001 Back in the spring of 2001, I was going through a career change. One afternoon I was working on my resume and watching Oprah, and a guest came on and said, "If you're trying to figure something out, make a collage". [I almost got on Oprah myself a few months later, but that's another story.] That sounded like a lot more fun than trying to revise my resume for the umpteenth time, so I made this collage (above). It shows exactly where my job search was at that time - amorphous and poorly defined. The mid- ground image comes from a beautiful Manpower brochure. It shows a lot of people doing different jobs, but it is translucent and hard to see the details.
