What to look for when searching for a career that will fit you




Have you ever thought out someone else’s career and wished that you were doing the same thing? If so then you need to think about a career change. We all envy others sometimes and there is nothing wrong with this unless you sit back and let them have all the fun while you stay at the same boring and underpaid job. We all want to get a career that is right for that and us will make us a happier and more successful person. The right career for you is going to be something that fits your lifestyle and that makes you a happier person. Now, just how do you find the right career for you?





The first thing that you have to do is decide what is the right career for you and not someone else. Just because a job makes someone else happy does not mean that it is right for you and your needs. You have to choose a career path that will fit you and your needs. You have to check out every part of your lie and examine yourself from the inside out to see if this is the right thing for you to do or not. You want to make money of course but your true inner happiness is the most important part of finding a career that works best for you.





Think about the facts that are going to go along with the right career for you. Are you going to be able to work certain hours? Are there things that you cannot do or do not know how to do? You might be able to do the work, but will the demands that go along with the job be right for your life? These are all things that you need to compare first before you decide to take a certain job or not.





Do not ever pick your career based on what someone else is doing or makes them happy. You are responsible for your own happiness and you need to make sure that you choose something that is going to fit your lifestyle and gives you the feeling of accomplishment. Look at all the things that someone else has to go through on a certain job. Do they make good money? Are they completely happy in their lifestyle? Is there is there something missing in their life? These are all things that you may need to think about before you decide to choose a certain career change.





You may want to think about the choices that you have made in life. Are you doing something that makes you feel good about yourself? Are there any changes that you maybe would make? If so then this is the time to do it. You have to be happy in the career that you choose because it is such a big part of who you are and what your success levels are about. Do not be discouraged if you do not find the perfect job that is going to fit your needs and allow you to grow as a person. You will in time be able to figure out what is going to work best for you and all the expectations that you have.





Give everything a shot. If you think that there is a job that is right for you, take the chance. You will never know until you try. If in fact you figure out that this is not the right goal for you then switching to something else may be the only resource that you have. Make it a choice that you think about and give yourself the ability to make choices depending on what you want to do the most.





Do not give up on what you really want in life. Making choices and being the person that you want the most is something that you are really going to appreciate. You have to be certain that you are going after the goals that make you happy. Choosing something that someone else does just because you want to be like him or her is not going to work. You have to be ready and willing to make mistakes and then learn from them. This is the only way that you are going to be able to find the right career path that works best for you and your needs.




How To Turn Losing Your Job Into a "Winning" Career

Just the other day, I got an email from someone with an all-too familiar story: they lost their job when their company downsized. For the past year they have been sending out resumes every week, but haven't had any responses. Now they are wondering if they should try a whole new career track. But here is their problem: how do they start their job search if they don't even know what they are looking for?

When you ask the question; "how do I start my job search when I don't even know what I'm looking for?" I would answer, "you are looking for your bliss." We've all heard the saying, "Do you what you love and the money will follow." Another way of looking at this is that if you force yourself to work at a job that you don't absolutely love - then you will start to cut off the flow of prosperity into your life.

Money, work and prosperity are a function of "Flow" - the experience of continuity, connectedness, ease and effortless action. Whatever stops flow stops money, and whatever promotes flow attracts money. What stops flow are things like rushing through life, tensing up ("holding on to stuff"), being out of alignment and being inconsistent (like applying for any job that opens up). On the other hand, what promotes flow are things like slowing down (and being in the moment), letting go of things (like old ways of thinking), making sure you are in alignment (with your principles and values), and being committed and consistent.

Following your bliss brings you into the flow of life. Most people treat the notion of following one's bliss as a luxury that has to wait until after one has found a good job and is financially secure. But as a life coach I have seen time and again that the opposite is true. Your jobless situation is a blessing in disguise - it has given you the chance to discover (or return to) your passion. If you want to know where to start your job search, then start looking for the kind of job that would catapult you out of bed every morning, that you would leave home early to get to and that you would do for free if you couldn't get paid for it. And if you can't find a company that has a job like this, then start doing the "job" on your own and the company will find you.

Being out of work probably feels like a crisis. I know a lot of people in the same position - it is a sign of our economic times. The loss of a job or career is extremely stressful. According to many relationships experts, fighting about money is the leading cause of divorce. But as a life coach I always look for the silver lining. Remember - the Chinese character for "crisis" is drawn by combining the character for danger with the character for... opportunity!
