Finding a good job is never easy. Finding a good job that fits you perfectly is even harder. But as the movie star Julie Andrews once said,
"Sometimes opportunities float right past your nose. Work hard, apply yourself, and be ready. When an opportunity comes you can grab it.”
But what do you need to do to “be ready” for that big opportunity when it arrives? Here are some tips.
1. Figure out your true career goals by taking an MBTI Test
If you are unsure about what to pursue in terms of your career, or seem stuck on your current career path, then take the Myers Briggs Type Indicator Test, commonly referred to as the - MBTI - 16 Personalities Test. This can give you insights into your true personality and what kind of jobs and career might suit you best.
You can also access other personality tests in Career SPACE that can help you to understand yourself better in terms of your personality style, preferences and values.
