How Do You Know What Your Dream Job Is?
May 13, 2008
Finding your Dream Job is one thing, knowing what you looking for is another one all together.
I am a big believer in not doing the work others have already done so one thing I recommend you start off with is a simple personality test. There are many available online for free here is a pretty good one.
The Human Metrics Jungian Personality Test
So take your time and go through that test or another one, you may even want to try a few different ones. Then consider carefully what the results say about you, specifically the ones you don’t totally agree with.
The key to your dream job is first finding a career that
- Really motivate you
- Challenges you in a positive way
- Allows you the lifestyle yo most value
- Gives you the time freedom to do what you enjoy
- Lets you live in the area you want to live in
- Provides you the education to move up to your ultimate goal
There are more of course and we will go deeper into this subject in many different ways, the key for now though is simply understanding that this question is first and foremost, “who are you really”?
The key is to first really understand yourself and what you really want, until you do that you will chase money, prestige and other concepts only to feel let down and empty. A dream job doesn’t just pay well and let you have an awesome lifestyle, it makes you feel good and look forward to going to work.
