Career Development: If you are exploring what career best suits you, what is your method to find the skills that others find valuable? A job that is enjoyable most days?

Joy Broto Nath , Global Corporate Trainer & Strategist answered:

Your career path should account for your goals, future, and personality. It is also important to revisit your career goals as you grow personally and professionally to ensure your goals remain achievable and aligned with your interests. Once you have narrowed down your options, consider establishing milestones for your career. Research where other people in your field are at five or ten years into their career and make note of the job titles they have. By establishing career goals five or ten years in the future, you can plan based on what progress you should expect every year.
Schedule time regularly to reflect on your career and goals. Different tests list common career choices for each personality type. If you take a variety of tests and one or two careers appear across multiple tests, that specific career is likely worth researching.
This self-assessment can provide you with an overview of your personality type and recommended careers by identifying Jungian cognitive functions or explanations behind certain psychological preferences. Your job satisfaction in previous roles can also help guide your career choices. Identify trends in your previous positions, such as focusing on a specific technical skill. Also, review your job history to identify positions that you felt fulfilled.

Many jobs have specific education requirements for applicants and new hires, such as obtaining a high school diploma, completing a bachelor’s degree program, or having a master’s degree. Some positions also require applicants to have their degrees in a specific field related to the position. Make a list of your current skills, certifications, and areas of expertise. Also ask for feedback about your technical, interpersonal and people management skills from co-workers and colleagues.

This evaluation can help you find careers that match what you are best at. Depending on your personality, you may have interests that lend themselves to different careers. While this information is outside of a professional context, creating a list of activities you like can help you focus a career search. For example, you may enjoy a career in cybersecurity if you enjoy logic puzzles, or you may enjoy a traveling sales role if you like meeting new people.

Use this knowledge to apply for short-term positions or volunteer opportunities to explore new career options. This first-hand experience allows you to test your suitability for a career. This experience can help you determine if the career’s skills and content are something you enjoy. Identifying your core values can help you focus on a career you find personally fulfilling.

While salary certainly does not equal an engaging, satisfying job, it is an important factor to consider when mapping out your career path.
