What is the best type of job for me?


What is the best type of job for me?

 

So, you’re ready for your next career move, but you’re not sure what direction to go in, what role to look for next…

 

How can you work out what the best type of job for you is? For starters, it may help to get jotting some ideas down. Maybe have a go at brain storming?!

 

So, think about your own personal skill set, not just the skills you’ve gained in the workplace, but those you have gained in your own time…

What are your best skills?

What are you good at?

Would you like to use skills gained through qualification?

Which of those skills would you like to use more, and which would you like to move away from?

 

Then think about what interests you…

What interests you about any of the roles you’ve held so far?

What do you love to do?

Can you find a role that will allow you to work with your interests?

What sort of jobs include work involving those interests?

 

Next, what about the type of company you would like to work with…

What would a good company to work for look like to you?

Would you like to work within a large organisation, perhaps a large corporate, or a smaller business?

What would working for a small business mean to you?

Think of the pros and cons to working for each of these, and what they would mean to you.

 

Then think about the role itself…

What would you like your role to accomplish? What is the ideal outcome/result of your work?

Do you want to help a company to grow, by winning more customers? If so, could a role in sales be good for you?

Do you want to see yourself as a leader who is able to train others in your area of expertise? If so, is a role in management or team-leading your next step?

 

Then you have to think about the practicalities of it all, what salary do you need? What location can you get to?

 

Some people find that they want to help develop others, others want to provide a front of house service, greeting visitors, and some people want to make key decisions on how to drive a business forward. Wherever you are within all of this, as long as you take the time to consider what is important to you, and to find the role and company that is the right match for you, you shouldn’t go far wrong.
