As a child, when you were asked what you wanted to be when you grew up, what did you say? Are you doing or pursuing that line of work now? Most people aren\u2019t, but do you still want to? For most people, it takes research, experience, and risk to find their dream job<\/a>. Unfortunately, it\u2019s not unusual to endure several bad jobs and risky work experiences on the way there, in addition to conducting countless hours of research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are not quite sure what you\nwant to pursue professionally, here are just a few of the things you can do to\ndiscover your dream career:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create an account on LinkedIn,\nMonster, Indeed, and other sites. Update your profiles regularly and search for\njob opportunities that match your interests and skills. Some of these sites\nhave networking events that you can sign up for. Even if you are employed, it can\nbe helpful to see what else is out there and what connections you can make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find many free career\nassessment tests on the internet. These can give you a good idea of what\ncareers might be a good choice for you based on your personality, your level of\neducation, previous work experience, and more. Even if a test doesn\u2019t give you\na precise answer, it could give you insight into the types of jobs that are a\ngood fit for you. For instance, let\u2019s consider someone who got results saying\nthat they should be a firefighter. If they are not athletically or physically\ninclined, they may disagree with that result. If they reflect on their answers, though, they\nmay realize that the assessment recommended the position because of other\ntraits, such as fearlessness, efficiency, ingenuity, and a desire to help\nothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t accept career tests\/assessments\nas gospel, of course. They are just one of many methods you can use to\nunderstand yourself better. Nonetheless, when you take one, make time to\nreflect on your results. Consider why the test may have given you that answer,\nand see if there is any information or insight that you can carry forward into\nthe rest of your job search! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Attend career fairs to gather\ninformation from companies that are looking to hire. Don\u2019t forget to dress up\nand bring plenty of copies of your resume. Be prepared to have an interview\nright on the spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you get a degree in a subject that\nyou no longer want a career in? Because so many people go to college when they\u2019re\nfresh out of high school and don\u2019t really know what they want to be, it\u2019s\nfairly common for people to make this mistake. If you are in this situation,\nconsider getting a master\u2019s degree or even just a certificate or credential in\nyour desired field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The best way to embark on a new career\nis to talk to someone who works in that field. Meet with that person regularly\nto ask them questions. Try to spend a day on some job sites with them and get\ntheir insight into whether or not certain jobs or listings would be a good fit for\nyou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask the people who know you best about the careers they think you\u2019d excel at. Your parents, partners, and kids may have an informed perspective on the types of work that your soul would find meaningful and that you have the skills to succeed at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Look for books like 101 Career\nAlternatives for Teachers<\/em> and other literature that discusses what you can\ndo with your credentials.

If you already know what field you want to go\ninto, you can also search for similar books about breaking into that industry,\nespecially if you don\u2019t have much relevant experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try to keep from spending more than three years in any career that is not your dream job.<\/a> Once you hit that point, plan to move on and pursue your ideal work situation. Stability is important, but so is your mental and emotional health. Set yourself up to move toward something you love.

Your job pays the bills, but do you enjoy what you do? <\/p>\n\n\n\n On average, people spend 40 hours a week working, plus another five hours a week commuting to and from work. That\u2019s a significant portion of your life<\/a>, so spend it doing something that you\u2019re passionate about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you still aren’t sure what you like or want to do, then in addition to the steps above, consider taking time to get to know yourself better. Connect with your spirituality. Turning to tools such as Tarot or Oracle cards — or even consulting with a trusted spiritual guide like a Career Psychic — may be helpful, especially if they play a major role in your belief system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You only live once, and you have more power over your future than you think. Do not get stuck in a job just because it pays the bills and is convenient. Spend the time and take the risks.

Are you doing or pursuing that line of work now? Most people aren\u2019t, but do you still want to? For most people, it takes research, experience, and risk to find their dream job. Unfortunately, it\u2019s not unusual to endure several bad jobs and risky work experiences on the way there, in addition to conducting countless hours of research. If you are not quite sure what you want to pursue professionally, here are just a few of the things you can do to discover your dream career: 1. Check Out Career Websites Create an account on LinkedIn, Monster, Indeed, and other sites. Update your profiles regularly and search for job opportunities that match your interests and skills. Some of these sites have networking events that you can sign up for. Even if you are employed, it can be helpful to see what else is out there and what connections you can make. 2. Take Career Tests You can find many free career assessment tests on the internet. These can give you a good idea of what careers might be a good choice for you based on your personality, your level of education, previous work experience, and more. Even if a test doesn\u2019t give you a precise answer, it could give you insight into the types of jobs that are a good fit for you. For instance, let\u2019s consider someone who got results saying that they should be a firefighter. If they are not athletically or physically inclined, they may disagree with that result. If they reflect on their answers, though, they may realize that the assessment recommended the position because of other traits, such as fearlessness, efficiency, ingenuity, and a desire to help others. Don\u2019t accept career tests\/assessments as gospel, of course. They are just one of many methods you can use to understand yourself better. Nonetheless, when you take one, make time to reflect on your results. Consider why the test may have given you that answer, and see if there is any information or insight that you can carry forward into the rest of your job search! 3. Attend Career Fairs Attend career fairs to gather information from companies that are looking to hire. Don\u2019t forget to dress up and bring plenty of copies of your resume. Be prepared to have an interview right on the spot. 4. Get an Education Did you get a degree in a subject that you no longer want a career in? Because so many people go to college when they\u2019re fresh out of high school and don\u2019t really know what they want to be, it\u2019s fairly common for people to make this mistake. If you are in this situation, consider getting a master\u2019s degree or even just a certificate or credential in your desired field. 5. Find a Mentor The best way to embark on a new career is to talk to someone who works in that field. Meet with that person regularly to ask them questions. Try to spend a day on some job sites with them and get their insight into whether or not certain jobs or listings would be a good fit for you. 6. Get Feedback From Loved Ones Ask the people who know you best about the careers they think you\u2019d excel at. Your parents, partners, and kids may have an informed perspective on the types of work that your soul would find meaningful and that you have the skills to succeed at. 7. Read Books About Careers Look for books like 101 Career Alternatives for Teachers and other literature that discusses what you can do with your credentials. These books can help you learn how to use your background in another field. If you already know what field you want to go into, you can also search for similar books about breaking into that industry, especially if you don\u2019t have much relevant experience. 8. Don’t Stay in a Career You Hate Try to keep from spending more than three years in any career that is not your dream job.
