Are you feeling stuck because you haven’t got a clue what your dream career could be? Part 3

Here is the third part to the article. Enjoy! What are the essential components of your dream career?

What I want you to do is to think about some of the essential components of your dream job. For example:

Do you want to have the laptop lifestyle?

Do you want to be intellectually challenged?

Do you want to work with people whom you consider to be your friends?

Is your physical working environment important to you?

Do you want to be paid a certain amount so that it supports your desired lifestyle?

Do you want a career that enables you to take care of loved ones?

What type of organisation do you want to work for or do you want to start your own business?

What hours do you want to work?

Do you want to work as part of a team or do you prefer working independently?

Is there a particular sector of the workforce that you feel drawn to work with?

Mapping out the things which made you enjoy or hate your old job will help you to think about your options, before you start to concern yourself with how to achieve them.

One of the biggest mistakes that people make when seeking to change career is waiting for their dream career or job to come along! So take action! Take time to think about what you want your life to be like. Does the list that you have drawn up allow you to have the life you want? If not, what things will need to change?
