How Do You Find A Job You Will Like And Not One Just To Earn A Living Mri Guy?
Well, you can stumble into it by taking every job that is offered to you, and eventually landing in the right spot – if you’re lucky.
OR, you could take the time to figure out what it is that you really enjoy doing – everyone is different.
There are several online services that can help you, and the RileyGuide has a collection of them at http://www.rileyguide.com/assess.html
You can also read the classic career book, “What Color Is Your Parachute.” Buy or borrow it – it’s updated every year (2007 is out now), but every edition is useful. Your local library probably has it available.
Once you’ve figured out what you want to do, look around at who is hiring people to do that. It may be the store on the corner or your city’s government.
Put together a list of potential employers. Then, call them up to ask how you get a job there. It may be through the Website, coming in and completing an application, etc.
Do what ever the “official” process for getting a job is, and also look for people you know (or for people who know people you know) who work for those employers and ask them for advice and help. Employers often have an “employee referral program” which rewards existing employees for bringing in the resume or for recommending someone for a job.
In the interview process, remember that it’s a 2-way street. Do you like them? Does it seem like a place you would enjoy working? Does it seem like a job you would enjoy doing?
Go for it – carefully. If you pick that job carefully, you’ll have a better chance of enjoying it.
