Play Your Way to Your Next Job: Innovating Your Job Search

What does play mean for you? As it turns out, the greater scientific community can’t even seem to agree! Acey’s research lists the following qualities, and these 8 are the most important qualities she’s discovered in play for adults:

Beneficial
Seemingly purposeless
Intrinsically motivating
Joyful
Optional
Actively engaging
Iterative
