find the career that fits my skills, natural talents and passion

So said my former classmate. I guess that’s true for me. I guess that’s why neither of us are doing what we trained for.
I keep thinking it’s just fear or self-doubt that keeps me believing that. Maybe it will change. 4 months ago

OK, I had a chance to do lots of self-exploration. I think this job mostly fits me, except I need a little more structure. Maybe I can add structure somehow. I am so afraid I can’t trust myself to get things done in a more structured way, while still following up on tangents when it’s needed for creativity.

Let’s spell it out: I am afraid I can’t be both spontaneous and productive because I have a need to be considered competent, quick and also thoughtful. Too high expectations? I’m afraid that’s part of me. 4 months ago

... but I didn’t find a job at the right company, the previous one went bankrupt and I hate my current company, but does it mean that I have complited this goal :D ? 4 months ago

there isn’t one single job that suits you completely, it’s a case of finding which ones better suit you and which don’t. From my 6 months of working as a counter assistant at Sainsbury’s (a British supermarket), although I liked working with food, and greeting the customers, I absolutely hated the amount of washing up I often had to do alone and the physical exertion which came with the job. Working at the credit union, in comparison, in much easier. I get to sit down, wear smart clothes, eat the occasional doughnut or chocolate and scan and check documents. I like the people there and to me that’s one of the most important things about a job, its not good to hate an environment you’re in 5 days out of 7, that’s 5/7ths of your life! Really hoping that when I finish with the credit union and go on to paid work I’ll find work with another ethical company, also with nice people. Wish me luck! 5 months ago

I might not get paid, but I can honestly say I enjoy working there and am thrilled that I get to work more days now (3 a week)- I’d do more if I could :) The people there are really friendly and its so nice to have an excuse to get out of bed in the morning and experience a busy, more structured environment. Hoping I get to stay there for the next 4-6 months…though a bit of money would be great also :D 6 months ago

I’m just not able to find the right job. I’m just not a desk person who can sit and stare at a computer for 8 hours straight. That’s just not me! I’m more of an outdoor person and would love to have an adventurous job maybe something like a diving instructor, or a tour guide, but those jobs don’t pay much and you still have to pretty much do the same thing everyday. I was also considering event management because it isn’t a monotonous job but that requires a lot of people skills and a lot of effort. 8 months ago

I worked in corporate finance for a big bank for all of 6 months before I realized that I’d probably end up day dreaming about jumping out of a window if I had to sit in a cubicle, staring at a pc , pretending to care about working on spreadsheets for another two years. I’m sorry. I lied. I came to this realization within three months. I had 6 months to finish my contract and keep my signing bonus money! I changed my major and my mind about finance and decided to go into business for myself as well as pursue strategy consulting where I can travel, help other businesses grow and still make money. 11 months ago

There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.”- Martha Graham

A customer service rep can make a difference, but I in that capacity will only be mediocre as it’s not my line…It’s not what I’m good at. It’s not a good fit. I need to be where I fit it, there I can flourish! 11 months ago
