  1. A PROFESSIONAL'S TIPS TO MAKING THE RIGHT CAREER CHOICE

  2. A “career” and a “job” are two very different paths. A person may have a variety of jobs throughout their life but a career is an occupation that most people intend to perform for many years.

  3. However, certain circumstances may prevent that from occurring. One circumstance that sometimes prevents people from finding and staying in their chosen career is a poor initial fit.

  4. You may find the following tips helpful as you go through the process of making the best choice for yourself.

  5. ASSESS YOUR TALENTS

  6. One of the first steps that you should take before you jump into a potential career is assessing your talents.

  7. Your talents should align with your career choice because they will maximize the potential that you have with your employer.

  8. For example, you may be suitable for a career in sales or sales management if you have the gift of gab.

  9. Or you might want to pursue a job as a counselor if you have a talent for listening and calming people who are upset. Many employers can use such a talent.

  10. TAKE PERSONALITY TESTS AND BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENTS

  11. Personality tests and behavioral assessments are designed to help prospective employees and employers to pinpoint an appropriate career choice.

  12. You can take these assessments to see if your personality suits some of the career ideas that you have. Personality tests may ask you about different elements of your personality.

  13. For instance, they may ask you if you easily become angry or if you wake up feeling sad. Behavioral assessments tend to dig deeper.

  14. They tend to examine your reactions to certain problems to see if you would be a good fit for the career that you are considering.

  15. KNOW YOUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES

  16. Familiarizing yourself with your strengths and weaknesses will be valuable in your search for the career that best suits you.

  17. For example, if your weakness is that you want to be liked by everyone, then you may not want to be a supervisor.

  18. If your strength is that you can come up with mathematical solutions for business-related problems, then you may want to seek employment in the financing department.

  19. CHOOSE A CAREER THAT IS LIKELY TO FLOURISH

  20. Choosing a career that is likely to expand and flourish is another valuable tip that you should remember as a career seeker.

  21. For example, jobs in technology and in health-related fields are not likely to disappear.

  22. INCREASE YOUR CREDENTIALS

  23. Increasing your credentials is always a great way for you to increase your knowledge of the tasks that you will perform in your new career.

  24. Taking appropriate courses in school, for example, will help you to absorb the elements that you will need to flourish on the job.

  25. Getting the appropriate licensure will qualify you for a variety of tasks.

  26. STAY ON TRACK

  27. The most valuable tip of them all is for you to stay on track in whatever you do.

  28. All of the courses you take and the jobs that you have should be relevant to your overall goal. Starting over again and changing fields can be difficult, time consuming and expensive.

  29. So, in order to have a long and satisfying career, you’ll want to make a tremendous effort from the very beginning to select the occupational field that best fits you.

  30. The tips listed above should be very helpful in helping you make the appropriate career choice.
