Reading on Calling & Work
Design Thinking

A practical approach to exploring possibilities, testing ideas, and learning by doing.
Replace the search for one perfect career with exploration, experience, and reflection.
Clarify your beliefs about meaning, identity, work, and what matters most.
Calling
Your career is more than a job – it can be one of the ways you live out your calling. Understanding calling can help you make thoughtful decisions about your studies, work, and future, grounded in who God has created you to be and how you can contribute to the world around you. These resources are a few of many that will help you explore a Christ-centred understanding of calling and discover how your gifts, skills, interests, values, experiences, and desires can shape the way you live and work.
Tim Keller, late pastor of New York’s Redeemer Presbyterian Church and New York Times bestselling author taught and counseled students, young professionals, and senior leaders on the subject of work and calling for more than twenty years.
Amy Sherman, director of the Center on Faith in Communities and scholar of vocational stewardship, explores how, through our faith-formed calling, we announce the kingdom of God to our everyday world.
In her famous 1942 essay "Why Work?", English writer and theologian Dorothy L. Sayers argues that work should be viewed not as a painful drudgery done merely to make money, but as a creative way to express human nature and glorify God.

Key TWU Calling & Career Resources
Your AI-infused feedback tool for resumes, interviews, and LinkedIn.
Resumes
The vast majority of employers use a tool called an Applicant Tracking System as a first step in an online application. Many applicants are not aware of what this is or how it interprets information. Quinncia uses the same technology to give you insights and feedback to ensure your resume is clear and meets the criteria that employers are looking for. View Templates, get feedback and improve the first piece of your application!
LinkedIn
Over 1 billion accounts exist on LinkedIn. Quinncia can help you stand out and tell your story by analyzing your profile and giving feedback and suggestions for ways to improve.
Interviews
Interviews can be a challenging and stressful process, especially when we don't have the practice to help us answer questions and know how we present ourselves to an employer. Quinncia can support students through virtual mock interviews and tailored feedback based on content, body language, and presentation. This is an invaluable tool as you prepare for your next interview.

Calling & Purpose
Explore deeper questions about meaning, identity, and direction.

You will encounter both Christian perspectives and broader frameworks to help you think critically and personally about your calling.
Explore Calling & Purpose
Career Exploration
This section is for students who are trying to figure out what direction to move toward, without needing to have everything decided upfront. Career exploration is presented not as a one-time decision, but as an ongoing process of learning through reflection, experience, and experimentation. You’ll find tools and frameworks that help you expand possibilities, test ideas, and make meaning from your experiences. The goal is not immediate clarity, but steady movement forward.
Explore Career Exploration

Learn how to translate your experiences and education into meaningful opportunities. Career readiness focuses on developing the skills, habits, and communication strategies that employers actually look for in a rapidly changing world of work. You’ll learn how to build clarity about your strengths, communicate your value effectively in applications and interviews, and engage with professional environments confidently.
Explore Career Readiness
Career Connections
Discover and understand how relationships shape career opportunities and direction. This section helps to reframe networking as a process of learning, belonging, and engaging with others—not just asking for jobs. You will explore how conversations, mentorship, and community connections open up insight and access that cannot be found through applications alone. If you are unsure how to start or hesitant about reaching out, this section will help you build confidence and approach people with more ease and intentionality.
