BEST WAYS TO DISCOVER YOUR DREAM JOB

How Truly passionate are you about your DREAM JOB?

DREAM JOB is using our natural talent to make a difference in the world and to stand outside the crowd. A dream job is doing what an individual
love to do & that supports the lifestyle he dreamt for.

Some people think that finding a Dream Job means changing jobs, but there is much more to it, about which most people are unaware. For some people it may be finding a new challenge within their company and for some, it may be an entire career change. It has been observed that people have certain educational and career background in which they are not interested, it’s because they are afraid to let it go because they have invested so much time, effort and money into their
choice.

Everyone has their unique talent and it depends on them how accurately they identify their talents. So it very important that we know our talents and what we are meant to serve.

Allowing some time to daydream is one of the best investment we can make with our time. We have to work on our passions, we should find what we can do all day without ever getting bored. We have only One life and it is so important to make the most of it.

How You Find Your Dream Job?

• Make your strengths the path to lead- Sometimes we got confused to take our career decisions but it does not mean that we don’t know what we are good at. So it is important for us to list our strengths, for this, we can also seek opinion from any of our close friend or co-worker. These days’ various online tests are also available such as Myers-Briggs personality tests that clearly analyse our strong and weak points. For example- there are times when although we are doing fair enough in our work but then also we are not happy, so here arises the need to identify the areas which attracts our interests which brings a great change that we have never think of.
• Evaluation of past to avoid wrong decisions- By evaluating our past
  experiences during studies or work in a detailed manner, helps us to uncover the negative patterns in a certain kind of job or career. This made us realise that there are opportunities which suit us and we are missing them because of our current work so it’s the time to change and bring the best in us and to be happy in self.
• Make your social circle broad- Talk to everybody. After select your
  interest field starts to attend informational interviews with the expert people. Don’t limit yourself to people we know or have connections with, join twitter chats or Facebook groups, go on LinkedIn read people’s job descriptions and articles about people in job we admire. It gives a broad view of our dream job.
• Consider the need of our work environment– we should find the surroundings or environment of the work in which we are more comfortable. If we are more productive in working alone then we should target task-oriented organizations and if we are more comfortable with people around or group work is fun for us, then we should target people-oriented organizations. This gives desired work structure which is suitable for us and in which we can give our best.
• Do what make you happy- Finding a dream job would never mean compromising with our happiness or what we want out of work life. So at the end it is important that instead of long- term happiness we should choose the profession that makes us happiest and which allows us to grow over time.

It’s not easy to find and get our dream job, but if we are determined to get it no one can stop us to achieve our goal. It’s just that we have to be attentive, we have to be updated, we must have a clear definition of our interests
