Career Hub

I followed the traditional career path for a long time. I saw firsthand that a traditional career can be painful, boring, and life-consuming. I experienced those things many times.

Most of us live this way, but it can also be a joyful, rewarding, and exciting path.

Now, imagine a future where your career is not just a job, but a fulfilling journey that includes:

A dream to follow,
Clear goals to achieve that dream,
A detailed roadmap to keep you in the right direction,
Success, good income, and nice colleagues along the way.

My purpose with Career Hub is to help you get these.

It's possible if you know where you're going, why you're going, and how you're going.

What is Career Hub?

Career Hub is a comprehensive and connected set of Notion pages, databases, tables and much more. That's why I named it "Hub".

It's an effective way to apply everything in the Traditional Career section of Jobcrafting Guide. It's also fun and engaging, just like games, because it’s crafted with gamification and storytelling techniques.

For more details about what's inside, you can check the "What Will You Get?" section.

Who is This Hub For?

If you want to manage your career efficiently,
If you're stuck in a role or company that isn't fulfilling,
If you can't find a decent job to support yourself or your family,
If you're considering changing your role or company to improve salary or position,
If you've lost your motivation and enthusiasm for your job or have experienced burnout,
If you're tired of doing work that isn't suitable for you and want to switch to a different path,
And if you want to do all of these in an entertaining way,

Then, this hub is for you.

If you're unsure of what you want and need help discovering it, I have another hub designed specifically for this purpose.

Career Planning

This part includes a simple guide to help you define your dream goal. It helps you set your SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) goals, which are important for making your dream manageable. It also helps you list out the tasks related to these goals. It's a tool made for you to build and follow your own career path, giving you a clear direction and action plan to reach your career dreams.

Dashboard For Your Career

This component is your personal guide to tracking your career path. With the help of this dashboard, you'll be able to manage your tasks and goals in a much more effective way, all while keeping your career dream in mind.

This way, you will always see where you're going, why you're going, and how you're going.

Quests & Achievements

Each component has its own purpose, and all of them matter equally. However, having fun while using them is also very important to me. I realize that if you don’t have fun, if you can’t engage, it’s hard to be consistent and get results. Plus, the process is just as important as the goals, maybe even more so.

And I love games. I've been playing them since my childhood. When used in a good way, they’re very helpful.

That’s why I added Quests & Achievements to each component. They not only make the process fun, but also give you very clear instructions on effectively using each component.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the format of Career Hub?

I built Career Hub on the Notion platform.

What is Notion?

Based on their definition, Notion is a single space where you can think, write, and plan. Capture thoughts, manage projects, or even run an entire company — and do it exactly the way you want.

I think it is more than that. What you can do with Notion is up to your creativity.

If you want more detailed information, you can check this link.

How can I use Notion?

Notion has a free plan for personal use. This means that you don't need to pay anything to use Notion, or in other words, to use my hubs.

You can sign up through this link and start using it. You can use it on a browser, on your phone, and on your desktop. All of them will be synchronized automatically.

Why did you use Notion?

Because it's a very flexible, powerful, minimalistic, and easy-to-use tool. My entire workflow runs on Notion. I use Notion to manage my life. It's that important and useful to me.

Who should not buy this hub?

Career Hub is a set of examples, templates, questions, structures, and steps to guide you. It's not going to provide a final output for each component without your effort, thoughts, and time. Some of them will require very limited effort, while others may require a certain amount of work.

Therefore, if you're looking for a product that will give you everything without effort, this product is not for you. This product is not a "hack" or "trick," so to speak.

What happens after I buy?

Once you purchase, you'll receive instructions for duplicating Career Hub into your Notion workspace. You'll have immediate access to Career Hub and can start using it right away.

Does this include lifetime access?

Absolutely. You can access it for as long as you'd like without any additional payment.

Will I need to pay more for future updates?

Absolutely not! Consider this as a live hub. I'll be making regular updates as I uncover new information and insights. Plus, I'll be eagerly collecting feedback from all of its users and expanding the hub based on their input.

You'll always have access to the most recent version whenever you desire. While I plan on increasing the cost for future customers as the value of the hub grows, you won't need to worry about paying more than you already have.

What is the refund policy?

You can check my refund policy in the relevant section of “Terms and Conditions”.

In short, this product doesn't come with a refund option since it's a digital product and cannot be returned. I appreciate your understanding that this helps avoid misuse.

Let me gently warn you about this matter. Before buying this product:

Have a look at my social media accounts to get an idea of my expertise on this topic.
Go through the comprehensive 59,000+ word "Jobcrafting Guide" which explains the logic behind this product in thorough detail.
If you're acting on impulse, maybe take a moment to reconsider.

If you still find yourself unsure, feel free to follow me and sign up for my newsletter to get a better feel for my content.

Take your time, you can always come back and purchase it whenever you're ready!

How does this differ from other Notion templates on this topic?

There's a plethora of Notion templates out there, crafted by talented creators, but most of them are lacking in either big picture or details.

Career Hub is not just another Notion template. It's more than that. It contains a vast amount of knowledge, example, templates, structure, and experience. Career Hub keeps the big picture in sight while also guiding you through the details.

The following aspects also set Career Hub apart:

I built this hub based on my 13+ years of experience in a traditional career.
Since university, I've actively shaped my career. This approach led me to work for top-tier companies, earn promotions, and relocate to Europe. All these experiences and learnings are encapsulated in this hub.
I was able to validate many things in this hub through my personal career in the real world.
I used gamification and storytelling techniques to make it entertaining.
Finally, this isn't just a product I'm selling – it's a tool I use too. I have big plans to continue improving, expanding, and utilizing Career Hub for many years to come.
