Step 1:You Need to Find Out What Careers or Jobs Your Flower Points To.
To find out what careers or jobs will best pursuit you, you will need take a look at a few of your best "expertises". Instead of choosing just one expertise, you should try to combine the three of them. Combining more than one expertise will give you more career options. If you just chose one expertise you would be limited your options, making it harder for you to land a job. Once you have picked your top three "expertises" you should jot down everything that people may suggest to you. Whether you like the suggestions or not, it will help you with brainstorming.
The following image will show a more in-depth flower that will help you find out what career or job that your flower may point to.
Step 2: You Need to Try On Careers Before You Decide Which Ones to Pursue
Like trying on clothing, jobs may not always look as good to you when you see them up close and personal. In order to find a job that is one that you would really like to do, you need to talk to people who are already doing that type of job.The LinkedIn website would be very helpful to finding people that do similar jobs to the one you may want. Once you are able to locate them, there a few questions that you should think about asking. These questions are: "How did you get into this work"?, "What do you like most about it?", and "What do you like least about?". These type of questions will give you a better idea of what that certain job requires and what people may like or dislike about it. If you do find out that you do not like what that job would offer, it may be helpful to then ask if they have any ideas as to who else you could talk to about your special interests and skills, and what type of careers use those skills.
Step 3: You Need to Find Out What Kinds of Organizations Have Such Jobs
Before you start thinking of certain business where you would want to work, it would be helpful to think of all kinds of places where one might get hired with the interest and skill set that you have. Thinking of every possible place will allow you to create a lot more options for yourself. Every possible place would include the following places:
- places that would employ you part-time
- places that would employ temporary workers
- places that would employ consultants
- places that would employ volunteers
- places that you could start up yourself
Step 4: You Need to Find Names of Particular Places That Interest You
When you are interviewing workers about their jobs or careers, someone may mention actual names or organizations that have certain kind of workers, and what's good or bad about the company. This will be important for you when you start searching for jobs because it may give you some insight to places that you may want to work. The best way to find particular places that may interest you will be the yellow pages, LinkedIn, and search engines. For a successful job-hunt you should choose places on your interest in them, not based on open vacancies. Vacancies can open up at any instant so do not wait for them. To create a manageable number of targets you should make sure to not have too many names or too few names.
Step 5: You Need to Learn as Much as You Can About a Place Before Formally Approaching Them
Eventually, you will be able to find some careers that you would love to do. You have found these careers by interviewing people who do them and and researching names that offer them. The next step for you will be researching each place that offers the type of career you would love. You will want to know what kind of work they do, their style of working, their culture, what goals they are trying to achieve, and how your skills and knowledge can help them. You will be able to find this information by asking different people such as friends, neighbors, and people at the organization or in similar ones. This is important because it will give you a personal perspective of the company. You will also want to search the internet for this information and anything that you can find in print.
