How do most people choose a career?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well…they don’t. They stumble into a job after college, take whatever they can get, then follow one of the few paths available from that random job.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No wonder most people are frustrated in their careers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But there actually IS a way to narrow down your potential interests to choose a career that you will love.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ramit Sethi<\/a>, our founder and career-path guru, has put together a Dream Job system <\/a>that helps you explore ALL the careers you\u2019re interested in, test each to see if you\u2019d really enjoy doing them, and move on to other jobs if they\u2019re not a good fit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here are some of our best tips on finding a career you love – even if you have no idea what you want to do.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1. Perform a self-assessment<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

A good evaluation of your personality defines the kind of job you would fit into. And we’re not talking about taking a random career personality test and doing whatever it tells you to do – those tests are usually unrealistic, and can’t paint a clear picture of what really drives you. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Instead, ask yourself the following questions and let your responses guide your career search.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What motivates you?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first step in assessing your personality is finding out what motivates you. If you can’t answer that question on your own, turn to friends, family, and colleagues to understand your driving force. When do they recognize your eyes lighting up? Maybe it’s after you’ve helped someone, or when you’ve solved a difficult problem. Understanding what gives you energy can help point you in the right career direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Evaluate your skills<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Some jobs tap into soft skills, like communication and personality, while others demand a particular academic skill set. For instance, technical jobs automatically require you to possess an analytical mindset\/background. You cannot apply for a scientific research position when your only training is in art history. If you do want to make a career switch, that’s ok, but understand that you’ll likely need additional training.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Understand your weaknesses and dislikes<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Have some self-awareness and get clear on your major weaknesses and dislikes. You may realize that you have poor delegation skills or that you hate team collaboration. You’ll need to recognize where you have weaknesses or outright dislikes. For example, if you don’t like talking to people, you probably won’t want to consider a career in customer service.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Make a list of potential careers to explore<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

One of the most daunting parts of choosing a career is picking just ONE job…that you\u2019re supposed to do for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n
