How To Find A Job You'll Enjoy...

Assalammualaikum wbt..

Hye everybody...How are you right now? Are you fasting today?:-) Since we are fasting today, I still keep in writing something in this blog to avoid me from waste the time. I have nothing to do right now so while waiting to help my mother preparing the dishes, I want to share with you about how to find a job that you'll enjoy by assessing your interests which can help you plan your career.

Do you want to have the job you enjoy? Well,examining your interests may be the key. Because if you like what you do,you will be happier at work. And also,you may be more sucessful too. In some cases the choice is obvious where as people who like to write become writers, those who like to work on their car often become mechanics and also people who like to teach will proceed their interest by working as a teacher. But, for some of us is not that easy.

How can you know which job you'll enjoy?
One way is to find a job that is in tune with your interests. You can do that by going through some self-assessment or using a career exploration tool like the Strong Interest Inventory. But if you are not ready to take an assessment, you can begin with self-assessment exercise. For example, people generally prefer to work either with ideas, people, or things. the task is discovering your preferred area.

Ideas – You are a curious and independent person interested in exploring new ideas and using your creativity. People who prefer to focus on ideas may thrive on the analytic challenges of fields such as science or medicine, or artistic pursuits such as writing or interior design. While different in many respects, all of these careers require curiosity and creativity.

People – You are a sociable, friendly person who likes to use their communication skills, to guide and help others. Those who prefer to focus on people often find satisfaction in helping occupations such as counseling, coaching or teaching, or in persuasive professions such as politics or sales. All offer the opportunity to influence and guide others. All require spending your day working with people.

Things (includes Data) – You are an orderly, practical, persistent person who enjoys working with your hands and prefers clearly defined tasks. People who prefer to focus on things may be content working in a hands-on environment like mechanics or farming or computers, or using their math abilities as a bookkeeper, financial analyst or banker. These careers share a focus on things. There is, generally, not much interaction with others.

Most of us fit into more than one category. Many jobs are suited to those with a less clearly defined preference. For example, chefs are creative people who have a very hands-on job. So are landscape architects. A police artist uses their artistic talent within clearly defined boundaries. Bank tellers need to be careful and conscientious. But they also need to deal with people.
