I recently met an old friend of mine and after the usual catching up, he told me he was an unhappy man. I asked him the reason for not savouring life's goodies, and he replied, "my current job is stressing me up." We continued discussing the matter and we finally came up with a solution in the form of this article:
For one to get out of this state of "unhappiness" with his current job, one has to have:
Clear understanding of one’s
potential;
To start with , you need to have a clear
and rational understanding of your
skills, talents and capabilities . Before
you proceed with anything, jot down a
list of assets that you possess . These
assets could be anything , right from
your educational qualifications, you
extra curricular activities , outside
experience that you have gained or if
you have worked abroad . If you have
worked in an overseas location , then
this can surely boost your CV . Apart
from professional qualifications, you
should also have a clear
understanding of your personal
strengths like whether you are a
team player or like to handle tasks
individually, good analytical and
mathematical skills , eye for detail ,
patience level, the ability to take risks
and your preparedness to
handle unwelcome situations . You
also will need to understand what
level of training you require and
whether you are capable enough to
start new tasks individually.
Guidance counsellor
Once you have sorted down your
strengths and weaknesses, you may
have to take the help of a guidance
counsellor . Your guidance counsellor
will help you get some valuable
information on the different booming
industry fields and the ones that are
not much in demand. However , this
does not mean that you opt for a
career where the future looks bright.
In the end , it is your hard work and
perseverance that pays. A wrong
choice of career could mean you
remain unhappy with your job all
throughout your life .
