Your Ideal Job
If you imagine that your ideal job has no constraints of money, age, or health what would the ideal job have to offer you? Here are a few questions that you can use to help identify your ideal job:
|
- What is the job specification?
- With whom would you work?
- What are the surroundings?
- What level of authority or responsibility would you have?
- What kind of working day would you have?
Finding Your Ideal Job
When you have answered all of the questions above you should have a clearer picture of what your ideal job is. Before you begin searching for your ideal job, think through the following to help clarify and narrow the scope of things:
- What do my answers indicate about what I would value and aspire to?
- Is my ideal job based in reality and can I get there?
- How much of my goal is achievable at this time or might be in the future?
- What barriers exist to achieving my goals and how do I overcome them?
- What would the consequences be of my working to achieve my ideal job on myself and other people?
- What objectives would I like to set to get to my ideal job?
Now that you have realistic answers and goals set up for achieving your ideal job, is it still possible? If so you need to start looking at where your ideal job is and what it takes to get there. This exercise will not be a short time event, nor will it take little effort. You may need to do one of the following in the meantime to help get you to your ideal job:
Work through employment agencies and temporary work
Take classes
Find volunteer and apprenticeship programs to help network and build skills needed.

It has never been said that you must settle for any specific type of work. Your ideal job may not have been what your parents, spouse, or anyone else thought you would be good at. But if you are to be truly happy earning your living, having the ideal job for you does help the situation.
