Take Your Time in Finding the Right Career
The Right Job for the Right Person - YOU!
Have you ever wondered if what you know about landing a career is accurate? Consider the following paragraphs and compare what you know to the latest info about job hunting.
Twenty or thirty years ago, finding the right career was limited by lack of global Internet tools, restricted by more old-fashioned (if you will) values and opinions, and less important than “finding yourself.”
I recall when my therapist, the savior of all saviors as far as I’m concerned, laughed with me over how I had gone about finding the right career: I had taken all the courses I found interesting and many I hoped were somehow related, then tried to decide on a major/career.
She gently joked that many people decide first, then do the footwork of taking the required and necessary and relevant courses, doing internships, and getting in at some entry-level…. Clearly, I didn’t have the tools we do today for finding the right career, or I didn’t know about their existence and usefulness, at least.
For example, a lot of students will use personality testing and employment/goal assessments for finding the right career—right from the start of their semesters in college.
Job Aptitude Testing
ERIK, Psychometric testing tools, and career skills assessment batteries will help to define aptitude and save you time playing around with majors and minors that you THINK you MIGHT like…when six years later decide you need to start all over finding the right career, as offshore drilling is not for you or interplanetary travel studies will take too long or anthropological studies of tribes now extinct are wiped off the college catalogs three quarters of the way into your educational plan.
I trust that what you have studied so far has been informative. The following section should go a long way toward clearing up any uncertainty about jobs and careers.
A fantastic implement of
guidance, information, and statistical projection
for finding the right career is the Index to
Careers Guide, created, updated/maintained, and
provided both online and off (in college and high
school career centers, for instance) by the US
Department of Labor/Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
The Index to Careers
Guide
Another brilliant tool is one that comes in workbook form and accompanies the What Color is Your Parachute and The Boxes of Life books by Richard Bolles.
The workbooks (and books) have you take intensive (but interesting, fun) quizzes that lead you to slowly but surely deduce or do a process of elimination experiment that helps you in finding the right career FOR YOU…not your Mom, your dead Grandfather, or the culture around you who has all kinds of opinions about who you are and who you should be but who does not pay your rent or feed your kids when push comes to shove.
Nor are they the ones who need to live in your skin, sleep through the night, or answer to your higher needs and greater consciousness….
The day will come when you can use something you read about here to have a beneficial impact. Then you will be happy you took the time to discover more about landing a career.
