Overview

Background

104 is Taiwan’s leading job search website brand, the best platform for job seekers to find their ideal jobs.

Surveys indicate that, apart from salary, young people are most concerned about whether the content of their job aligns with their values and personal growth. Therefore, the crucial mission of this campaign was to help job seekers find value in their work.

Idea

We started the conversation by focusing on the ultimate aspiration of every worker – a “dream job.”

“Lots of money, little work, a short commute – is that really a dream job?”

“Dreams have nothing to do with work.”

“In this world, is there really such a thing as a dream job?”

We established a company, “Dreams Unlimited,” because we believe that every person who visits the 104 website is looking for a job worth investing their passion and life in, a dream job that aligns with their ideals.

We challenged the stereotypes of a “dream job” by showcasing three real workers: It’s not about finding a dream job, but about finding a job where they are willing to invest their passion, find joy in it, and see the value of their work.

From this perspective, every job can be a dream job.

Strategy

Taiwan is known as the “island of overwork,” ranking 6th in the world in terms of working hours, even more than Japan and South Korea.

The relationship between "work and value" has long been a subject that Taiwanese workers have questioned and pondered. In Taiwanese society, the phrases "work-life balance" and "don't put too much effort into your work," have become growing trends. Amidst a chorus of voices declaring, "A job is just a job,” 104 chose to go back to the basics, focusing on the value of work itself. This has encouraged the public to discuss, "What is a dream job?" It has not only given new value to work, but also allowed workers to discover their own value.

Execution

“In this world, can you really find a dream job?”

104 is Taiwan’s leading job search website brand. We established a company, “Dreams Unlimited,” to help job seekers find their dream job.

Here, we believe :

Dreams aren’t always sweet.

Dreams aren’t just to be found under a spotlight.

Dreams don’t always come with happiness and laughter.

A dream can be doing a good job and gaining a wide variety of experiences in life.

A dream can be taking joy in what you do, no matter how hard it is.

A dream can be putting everything you’ve got into what you do, and afterwards, seeing your own worth.

It’s not about finding a dream job, but about doing your job so well that it becomes a wonderful dream.
