find my dream job

-Apply for every advertised position that is relevant and interesting to my education.

-Improve and tailor my applications for each post that I am applying for.

-Try to figure out relevant questions that I can call and ask the contact persons listed in the advertisements.

-Express better how motivated I am for the positions.

-Research the organizations/firms, figure out their visions and values.

-Practice answers to job-interview questions

OK, so I have actually had a pretty good run. I was the only one in my friendship group who didn’t qualify for a Rudd bonus cos I earnt too much… but I’ve realised pretty early on that its not all about money!!!

Unfortunately I have been in the recruitment industry for over 6 years. While I have helped literally around 300-400 people get jobs in this time, when it comes to job hunting, because of the 15,000 people I have been unable to get jobs – I think Karma is weighting against me for some reason??

Its not MY fault they didn’t get the job, I would hire every one of them if I could!!!

Now I finally get it, I get the cover letter that I’ve read over 1,000 times before that starts “I don’t have the skills and experience that you need, but I have an excellent attitude, Im a fast learner and I’m really enthusiastic!” I will be honest now, when I read this so many times before, I have had to click *close on the email because my clients simply would not be open to a good personality fit…. they need the resume to match the job description.

such is life… I hope to see a day where you sit a personality test or a psychometric profile, a day when resume’s are abolished and people hire based on reputation or gut feel! rather than resume matching and “10 years relevant experience”. I look forward to hearing about astronauts who get jobs as accountants, chef’s becoming truck drivers, recruitment professionals becoming actors or marketing managers!

ENTER MUSIC AND PEOPLE MARCHING BEHIND ME….
I look forward to a day when people are judged by the content of their character rather than the content of their CV… ;-)
This day will be a happy day, a day when a JOB will become so much more, it will become a passion because walls will be broken down to allow people to pursue dreams without bachelor degrees…

(Except for surgeons, I think they need to get qualifications… and pilots…. and maybe gynocologists).

I would like to work from home or with very friendly people. Work on something that makes me happy.

I’m a 27 year old burned out mortgage banker. I’m scared to death that one day I’ll wake up at 40 years old still stressed out about the same things I worry about today. I need a dream job. A dream job to me is one that is a passion and not work at all.

I love traveling, the beach, palm trees, different cultures, sports, and above al, helping others. I’m hoping someone can provide me with some ideas for my dream job. Thanks.

Have been working over 10 years. Still, no luck with job. Got many bad bosses and very few good one. I wish…I will find my way out, either be a good boss or have a good boss soon.

looking for a dream career…

I just started college and im doing my core classes right now.. i need to find a career that suits me and tht also pays really well maybe between 70k to 100k.. i dont think i want to go in the field of medicine or law because its too much school. Im sooooo confused

1. Update my Resume
2. Find ways to work on dream job while working full time at “real” job
3. Put together 2 year plan to get the job I want

I don’t have a dream job idea, I just know what I am doing currently is not a dream, so I have to try something new. Once I figure out what that is, I may end up having to go back to school.

something that can sustain me financially, a professional job? i like sports, sideline reporter, community outreach, nonprofit, special events, kids, teacher’s assistant?

any ideas?
