find a job i love

wow, it’s been THAT long since I wrote this goal! Scary… but, hey, so much has happened since that fatefull day.

First I took a year off to reflect and get involved in a whole bunch of creative activities. It was a great year. It could have been more productive, I could regret a number of things I did or didn’t do, but I want to focus on the positives of which there were a lot.

The reflection did bear fruit, because I realised there’s a job out there that would really combine a lot of the things I like to do. Not a DREAM JOB, because I don’t quite know what that is or if that’s even how I should think about work. But a job that makes me want to get up in the morning, and that allows me to be creative AND show leadership in helping people in organisations have more fun working together.

The job is that of a video game producer (basically a creative project manager). For the record, I used to work in the oil industry, and I did lots of different jobs but a lot of them centered on managing projects and helping people solve problems.

I even found a job, but only lasted 6 months. Since then I’ve been looking for another opportunity, but it’s been tough and I’ve now been unemployed 5 months. It’s kinda tough, but I have no regrets because I FEEL that I’m heading in the right direction. My calling, if you will.

The latest development is that I applied and got accepted to a great master’s degree program in video game and interactive media design, it’s a very good school. But I have to take a big decision, made even harder because of my age (40) and the fact that there’s never any guarantee in life. Do i go for it, and risk two years of my life (and living costs out of my savings) with the hope of finding a great job, or do i keep looking, with the risk of never finding the right job or struggling to make my mark because I don’t have all the necessary knowledge…

For years I was drifting through life in a job that didnt inpsire me. I knew there was more for me out there, but didnt know how to get it.

One of my freinds told me hed used life coaching and it really helped him. So I went and found expertfurturebuilder.com. The guys there were really useful. They helped me think in completely new ways, turns out I had been my biggest enemy.

The amount of support and ideas I got made it well worth the very small fee they charge. Once my confidence and my vision improved I knew I was ready for big things. Now after just over a year I can safely say that I found my perfect job…....for now. Im really feeling more ambitious and now I believe I can go even higher!

I’ll try my best to hunt for the job I love and I hope this goal can be achived in half a month.I will seize every Opportunity than given to me and show my desire,enthusiasm,skill and compentence to the interviewer .All in all,I love working only though whicn i can make contribution to society.

I am just thankful that I have my job. So many of my friends, my co-workers are being let go. I will hold on as long as I can and once things are better in this world I’ll work on this goal once more.

The only job where you start at the top, is digging a hole.

I’m starting in a job I might love in about six months!

It has almost all the things I love about a job: getting to meet new people all the time, education, fun, working with children, probably great workmates, travelling. The pay isn’t that great but hey, doing something that I like, and something that makes me able to look in the mirror and think I’m a pretty ok person for doing this, is so much more important for me.

Some day I will be in love with my job once again.

Argh! I just got rejected for the potential job I could love.
I don’t know why. The interview went horrible (I was very nervous and they psychologically tripped me again and again), but I know I’ve got the technical skills, and I know I’d fit in with the team perfectly, but nooooo..
Bah this sucks.
