5 Tips To Help You Bag Your Dream Job

We all have friends who have kickass jobs and for them, work doesn’t feel like a task. That’s what happens when your work is something you are passionate about, when you suddenly become a morning person, when you skip parties to stay late at work, and this is something only a few are blessed with. But finding the perfect job is not impossible, all you have to do is be proactive and take a few steps towards finding your calling. If you are fed up of your current job or have just graduated, these tips will definitely come handy.

 

Scroll down to get 5 steps closer to the career you’ve always wanted.

1. Networking Is Your Friend

The more people you know in the field you want to work in, the better. You will learn about their experiences, understand what the challenges are, and get exposed to so many things you otherwise wouldn’t have. Overcome your shyness and approach people who could possibly share their expertise mentor you.

2. Shadow A Role Model

Identify one person you idolise, who is living the life you want and doing the work you aspire to do, and literally stalk them on social media. Follow them, see what they’re doing, and try contacting them and set up a meeting.

3. Collect Them Skills

Always remember — no skill is a waste. Everything is a learning experience and you’d be surprised when it would come to use. Enroll in online courses, join different classes, read books about the particular field you’re interested, and even watch movies about it! It will help a lot.

4. Trial And Error

It won’t happen overnight and you will have to work hard towards achieving your goals. Bad internships, cruel bosses, shitty colleagues, pathetic work hours, tiring travel, and so much more will come in the way, but if you really want to be part of a career that enriches your soul, you have to follow this drill. Make mistakes, but learn from them.

5. Be A Pro

You may think that you want a particular job just because it looks fancy. Don’t judge the book by its cover. Go all out and research in depth about what you think you want to do. Jot down the pros and cons, and then decide if you really want to get involved in it. We have heard so many stores where people end up hating what they once loved to do — don’t be one of those.
