Job Action Day is celebrated on the first Monday of every November. This day was created to help people focus on their professional lives by assessing their careers, making plans, and taking action steps. It’s an ideal opportunity to prioritize your career by setting goals and taking meaningful steps forward.
“If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.” – Martin Luther King

History of Job Action Day
In 2008, QuintCareers created Job Action Day with sponsorship from LiveCareer, a leading website for job seekers and career changers. Job Action Day was designed to encourage job seekers to think creatively and focus on finding a career that aligns with their ambitions. The initiative promotes the idea that people should pursue work that brings them satisfaction and fulfillment rather than settling for less.
