Before you think about making the right career choice, you first have to learn about yourself. Your innate interests, values, and skills, in combination with your unique personality traits that make you perfect for some careers and not appropriate for others. Each one of us is born with a set of skills and talents that are unique. Talents are entirely different from acquired skills, knowledge and interests. Your interests can vary, you can acquire new skills but your natural, innate talents remain with you for your lifetime. You can’t alter them but can use them to your best advantage. Your new career will fit best if it combines your personality and talents flawlessly and perfectly.

But how do you find out what’s right for you? Start by brainstorming what triggers your passion and what stimulates you. Sit down and list 10 things you’d like to do and then look for patterns. Do you like working with people, data, ideas or things. You’ll identify a career is right for you when you are excited and curious about learning new developments in the field and you feel a blazing desire to get started. You can also use self assessment tools to collect information about your traits and consequently create a list of occupations that are a perfect fit based on them. Circle the ones that you might have considered before and that you find exciting. You can definitely start by exploring these.

 

Set goals for yourself and make a career action plan:

After listing a few options, you would most definitely decide on one career that you would want to pursue. Post this; you can put a plan into place so that you can find a job in that field eventually. But first you will have to set some goals for yourself post which you can chart a course on how to reach them. A career action plan can help you pursue both your long term and short term goals.

The final takeaway:

It can’t happen suddenly, and there won’t be a day when everything will be perfect. But knowing what you actually want and realising your passion will help you evolve in every which way!
