How To Change From Not Satisfied In Your Career To Fulfilled
If you’re ready to achieve total career satisfaction, then read on to uncover some of the most effective tips and tricks that you can utilize today!
1. Experiment With Volunteering or Internships
One of the best ways to find a career that provides you with the satisfaction that you seek is to experiment with volunteering or internships. These are terrific low-commitment opportunities to get your foot in the door. Plus when you experiment, you get to see what it would actually be like to work in a specific environment.
For example…
If you would like to stray into the world of social media, then applying for a summer internship at a popular social media platforms office will be the perfect chance for you to see the industry for real.
Even though you might just be bringing coffee and performing personal assistant type tasks, you can get chatting with executive level employees and begin to network with lots of professionals that could be of benefit if you actually want to apply for a full time role in the future. Volunteering can offer a similar opportunity to experience a certain workplace and meet useful people, but of course you need to remember that volunteering is totally unpaid.
However, volunteering can look great on a job application when you’re seeking out a better role in the future, so this is something to bear in mind!
2. Head Back Into Education or Training
Another excellent idea that you can make the most of to seek out a more satisfying career path involves heading back into education or training. Expanding your job horizons by transforming your resume with a host of new qualifications and certifications will no doubt make finding a new role as easy as ever, and attending school as an adult shows an extra level of commitment that any type of employer is going to appreciate.
Heading back into education allows you to explore a variety of topics, whether you want to stray slightly from your current job but stay in the same industry such as becoming a Data Scientist vs Data Analyst, or if you want to study a whole new topic that you’ve never considered in the past! There are countless different options available when it comes to education or training, as you can choose to pursue a full time study course such as a college degree, or even explore a night time course or an online training class that can work around your current job commitments or family life.
The more qualifications and certifications that your resume boasts the better, so there’s no time like the present to start your search for the perfect study choice for your unique career aspirations!
3. Always Take The Time To Network
Next up, it’s vital that you can take the time to network if you’re going to stand a chance of achieving your dream career. Networking is the act of connecting with other like minded professionals in your chosen industry. You might sign up for commercial social media sites. Or you might even attend conferences and business events.
When you network you gain the opportunity to sell yourself and start building a good reputation. Plus, you never know who you might be able to connect with. You might find an entrepreneur or business owner. Or you could even find an employee who works at your dream company that can help you get an interview for a job opening before other applicants are considered. In many situations it’s not about what you know but who you know. So you should start taking the time to network. It will definitely be beneficial for your search to find a fulfilling career.
It’s fair to say that you’ll need a little bit of confidence to approach new people and wholeheartedly sell yourself and all of your strengths, but the act of networking can actually boost your self esteem.
4. Create The Perfect Resume
When you apply for a job, you need to have an amazing resume if you’re going to be able to stand out from the crowd. In some cities you can expect to have to fight against potentially hundreds of other applicants, so you need to have a brilliant resume that includes all of your greatest features as well as countless reasons why you would be so perfect for the role.
Never be afraid to sell yourself. You need to show off exactly what makes you the best match for your future employer. Don’t worry if you’re a little stuck on what to include on your resume. There’s so much inspiration online that you can make the most of to find direction.
The key items that you need to include on your resume are your…
- past working experience
- qualifications
- certifications
- any interpersonal skills that make you a great fit for the company
