Finding your Dream CareerWhat exactly is a Dream Career? I am sure it means different things to different people. It may go all the way back to what career you dreamed about as a kid. Remember what you wanted to do when you grew up? You may, or may not remember. You could presently be unsure about what your ultimate job would be. If you have any doubts about what your ideal career is, you may know which careers you definitely would not like to do. For example, if you have an interest in art, and don’t like math, you most certainly would not like being a mechanical engineer. If you love art, and have no artistic talent, maybe you would like to be around art instead, as an art curator. A career related to your passion, hobby, or special interest, is the path to follow in finding your ideal job. Let’s compare being in your Right Livelihood to a hobby or special interest. Wouldn’t it be great to get up in the morning and go to a job you got paid for, and enjoyed like a hobby? Try thinking about what things you like to do in your spare time. Many gravitate toward turning what they love to do in their off work hours into a full time job. For example, if you like to put together model cars, maybe you’d like opening your own hobby shop, or work for someone who owns one. What you presently enjoy doing in your spare time can lead you to a full time career. In other words, do you spend your spare time with friends, socially? Do you like to stay home and surf the internet? Do you like to work outside in the garden? Are you a writer, or a poet? Do you like working on your car? Do you love cooking? Once you find what you are interested in doing, you can then match this to a career which will be parallel to what you are passionate about. What you consider a dream career, has to center around what kind of person you actually are. This is called your Career Personality. What type of person do you consider yourself to be? People are naturally attracted to those things which reflect who they are as unique individuals. For example, if you are slightly on the shy side, maybe you’d like a job where you work on your own, relatively unsupervised, behind a computer. If you are outgoing, maybe you’d like to work with others, and be the supervisor. What we are looking for is what kind of career personality we all have, in order to find our best career fit. You could take a Career Personality Test to find this out. This is a career test which ties the right working personalities to careers which have been proven to be a good match. What we need to find out, is if your skills, talents, and abilities not only fit the career you are qualified for, but that you are also passionate enough about doing that particular job day in and day out. If you have the aptitude for doing a certain job, you may only need the training and education to qualify for the position. Everyone has a job niche, somewhere. It’s simply up to you to discover where and who you want to be. We all want to be ourselves, and do what we enjoy doing, daily. There is so much time devoted to working to earn a salary to survive; it is worth the extra time and effort to do the research involved in finding something we will love to do to make a living at. All it may take to find our dream career is to know ourselves a little better, trust in our own judgment, and be realistic about what we can attain occupationally. How I found my own Perfect Job.
