Finding the Job That’s Right for You

Posted on October 7, 2022October 7, 2022 by Larry

Finding the job that’s right for you can be tough. Maybe you feel you’re in the right niche but you haven’t yet found the employer that’s right for you. Or maybe you haven’t even found the path that’s right for you at all. Either way, it can be frustrating, but don’t give up. We’re going to talk today about some of the things you can do to find the job that’ll truly feel perfect for you. So read on and find out more.

Assess Your Skills and Experience

Assessing your skills and experience is often a good place to start when you want to make a change in your career. When you have a clear idea of what you’re good at and you have your experience lined up well on a resume, you can start to understand the kinds of jobs you might be suitable for. You might have more to offer new employers than you’d previously realized.

List Your Priorities

As well as thinking about what you can offer, you should also think about what you expect from an employer in return. Maybe you value career growth opportunities or flexible working. Maybe you need a job to offer you a certain salary level in order for you to be happy taking it. These are all things for you to think about. List your priorities and stick to them in your job search.

Research Potential Jobs and Employers

Next, you should take some time to research the potential job opportunities out there. The job landscape is shifting all the time, so it’s worth keeping an eye on things. You might even want to research some employers and approach them directly to see if they’re currently hiring.

Where Does Your Passion Lie?

It’s often a good idea to think about what you really want to do. You’ll feel much more motivated to do well and achieve more when you find a niche that you’re truly happy in and that you enjoy. If you don’t get enjoyment from your career, you’re going to struggle to stay consistent with it. Maybe you’ve wanted to work in health & wellness for a long time and have a passion for helping others. If so, make it happen.

Get Extra Training if You Need It

Getting extra training in the niche that’s right for you might be something that you want to explore. Maybe you want to make a career transition but you don’t have the qualifications to make that possible yet. Extra training might, therefore, be something that has to happen before you go further with your career growth.

As you can see, there are lots of ways of finding the job that’ll eventually turn out to be the right one for you. You might have to go through a little trial and error before you find the one that you’re truly happy in. That helps you to understand your wants and needs a little better, so it’s all worthwhile.

About Us

My good friend Ben started this site many years ago.  Ben said this about himself, “am a follower of Christ, a rabid computer geek, small business owner, and breaker of things. He is married way above his station in life and has three wonderful children who have made driving him insane their mission in life.”

Well back in 2019, Ben suddenly passed away from cancer and he asked me to continue the site. I like Ben, am a follower, a computer geek, a small business owner, and the father of 5 great children.

I miss Ben everyday but run this site in his honor. Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
