9 Questions That'll Help You Find Your Dream Career by USFOCUS: 4:11pm On May 29, 2018 |
Choosing a new career —whether you want to do a drastic 180 or just make a minor shift—can seem downright impossible. There are so many options. You don’t know what you’re qualified to do. Frankly, you’ve been so busy worrying about your current job that you haven’t taken half an hour to consider what you’d rather be doing. And when you do start to think about it? Your mind morphs into a cloudy mess of overwhelm. Believe me: I’ve been there, too. And after I did find what I was looking for, I’ve spent time coaching friends and colleagues who are going through the same thing. While there aren’t any shortcuts when it comes to planning a big career change, I’ve found that breaking the big question down into a few simpler ones can be a productive way to get started. Sometime this week, take the first step toward planning your dream career by filling in the blanks in the sentences below. 1. If I could choose one friend to trade jobs with, I’d choose ____________, because ____________. 2. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to do ____________. It’s interesting to me because ____________. 3. If I had the right education or skill set, I’d definitely try ____________, because ____________. 4. If I had to go back to school tomorrow, I’d major in ____________, because ____________. 5. My co-workers and friends always say I’m great at ____________, because ____________. 6. The thing I love most about my current job is ____________, because ____________. 7. If my boss would let me, I’d do more of ____________, because ____________. 8. If I had a free Saturday that had to be spent “working” on something, I’d choose ____________, because ____________. 9. When I retire, I want to be known for ____________, because ____________. Once you’re done, take a look at your answers. You may find clear-cut patterns—for example, that everything on your list has to do with designing beautiful spaces or playing sports. But at the very least, you’ll probably see some common themes. Maybe it’s creativity, or caring for others, or working outside using your hands. And no, those things don’t point to one single career path, but knowing what you value, what you enjoy, and what you want to be known for is a great way to get started honing in on what you want to do next (or, hey, eliminating possibilities). 8 Likes |

Nigeria economic situation do not allow one to pursue what he/she really wants. We just want a job that pays the bill constantly, because your passion might not have money value, or little value here in nigeria. But I will rather that we pursue our passion at the end , that's if time permits, as this brings satisfaction. 6 Likes |

enabledgoddess: Funny, if you are a Nigerian and venture into a non-profitable venture because it is your passion, the person must be prepared to ride on personal-life recession for years long. Most Nigerians go into a profession they actually detest but brings much money into their account because you "can't come and kill yourself." |

Nice and informative. Every man or woman have their own dreams for careers. Butter thing is growing their educational qualifications. Some extra activities help to find better job. I remember I applied for bank vacancy at Seylan. They ignored me, because I had no extra curricular activities. |

USE IT OR LOSE IT!!! Recently, I was watching a short scientific movie and the scientist there carried out an experiment by tying his arm to the body for several hours. Guess what? Immediately he untied the arm he realized that the idle arm had lost its strength and cannot perform like the other arm. Why? Because it is not used for a period of time! This is applicable to our lives also, God has given us talents to be successful in life, but probably due to some reasons we stop using them, and that's the end of it. No matter how great your talent is, if you don't make use of it, it'll soon die in you. Yes, that's the principle!============== IN CONCLUSION, having a talent is just like having a cheque in your hands, it's your choice to either keep it and remain stranded, or use it and become fruitful. Don't let God regret giving you that talent, bro/sis do something about it. Don't let it die with you! I REST MY CASE!!! Kindly like my page for more... www.facebook.com/abatsamconcepts |
