How do I find the job that is right for me? What job can I get when I finish my studies?<br \/>\nThere is no longer a HR department that takes over your career development as soon as you join a company. You are your HR department. You must manage your own development. You must always be training yourself for the next step up.<\/p>\n<p>We are rapidly moving towards a polarised world of producers and consumers. There are those that produce, and there are those that consume. If you are good at producing and keep getting better, you\u2019ll do well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2695\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tesyouth.org\/t\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dream-job.jpg\" alt=\"Dream Job\" width=\"183\" height=\"183\" data-id=\"2695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tesyouth.org\/t\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dream-job.jpg 183w, https:\/\/www.tesyouth.org\/t\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dream-job-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.tesyouth.org\/t\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dream-job-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.tesyouth.org\/t\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dream-job-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.tesyouth.org\/t\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/dream-job-180x180.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 183px) 100vw, 183px\" \/>The most important thing you can do is to become self aware. What do you enjoy? What type of activity do you care about?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u00a0If you care about your job, you\u2019ll do well.<\/strong><\/em>. If you don\u2019t, you won\u2019t learn, you won\u2019t get better and better\u2026 and soon a machine will overtake\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 your capacity to produce.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to stay ahead of the machines: Care deeply about your work, about the people that it serves, about the skills you wish to develop to improve your capacity to deliver.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Suits You?<\/strong><br \/>\nRepeatedly answering a few simple questions about yourself will help you see the kinds of jobs you could thrive in.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What are your talents? What things do you do naturally and fluidly? These are things you do without even thinking and enjoy doing them.<\/li>\n<li>What is your working style? Do you prefer flexibility or more structure to your work environment?<\/li>\n<li>Where do you prefer to work? Close to home? A small office or large corporate building? Do you like or hate traveling?<\/li>\n<li>What level of social interaction do you like while working? Do you like a team environment or prefer being an individual contributor?<\/li>\n<li>How comfortable are you with visibility? Do you prefer to be on stage in front of others or working quietly in the background unnoticed?<\/li>\n<li>How well do you handle stress? Some people thrive on it while others struggle when challenges arise in the workplace. <em>Source: conorneill.com<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where do I start on this new career journey?
