Most of us have struggled to make the right career decision, whether it’s a decision to make a move, to change to an entire different industry or even what role you should start your career with. So, what factors would you take into account when making a decision?
Monetary reward, potential promotion opportunities, company’s value or management style of your direct boss?
Why do you need this job?
What questions do you ask yourself when making decisions related to your career? You see, asking the right question will lead you to the right answer whereas others can mislead you to somewhere not fitting. Have you ever tried asking yourself one question, “Why do you need this job?” We “want” a lot of things but in fact we only “need” a few. Everyone wants more money, more holidays, more benefits and a bit more of everything. Why? We think it’s more secure to have MORE, we think it’s more impressing to have MORE or maybe we are just jealous of people who have MORE. Whatever reason it might be, that’s not something we truly need.
When progressing in our career, experience is an important factor. It’s the experience we own that shapes us into who we are today and the decision we make at this very moment that builds our future. Changing jobs too often is seen as jumpy, however, getting enough experience can helps us identify what we really need in our lives. If you are happento be a student, it’s always useful to do different part-time work which allows you to get a taste of what it’s like in different industries. If you have been working for some time, you might consider talking to different professionals to understand their work.
