Dear Experts,
I have a follow up question from your webinar on Wednesday.
Should I continue to be at my current job although I am completely clear it is not a company on my interview bucket list? Would it be a better idea for me to quit my current job and secure temp work in the type of company where I would eventually like to work? (ie: temp work at a digital marketing agency instead of continuing my direct marketing job at a online retailer)
