job

done by Namozov Bekhzod

 Introduction
A career is the sum of your professional journey.
Many people embark on a career because it can help
them achieve their goals, such as acquiring more
knowledge and experience, taking on more
responsibility, or earning higher salaries.
But finding a career that best suits you takes time—
and your career will likely shift throughout your
working life. You may end up changing roles or
industries as your interests, motivations, and needs
change.
 Examine yourself.
Value-based questions:

Interest-based questions: What is most important in Trait-based questions:

your life?
What do you enjoy What are your priorities in What does success
learning about? life? mean to you?
How do you like to spend Where do you find What do you want
your time? meaning? more of?
Do you enjoy manual What change would you Which of your strengths
labor or mental labor? like to be a part of? do you enjoy the most?
Do you enjoy working Which of your skills are
outside or inside? you most proud of?
 Reflect on your motivations.

Once you’ve put together a list about

you, turn to your motivations for
working. Perhaps you want a career that
will pay a higher entry-level salary than
comparable occupations, or one that
promises more flexibility so you can
work from anywhere. Most careers
won’t feature everything you’d like, so
it’s important to understand your
priorities.
 Think about your long-term goals.
What does your most perfect life look like? Make a list of your long-term goals,
both personal and professional, to help you understand what it might take to
reach them. For example: Do you want to rise past the managerial ranks and
advance to the C-suite of a company? Do you want to own a house? Do you want
to be able to travel—and how often?
The list you put together can also help you approach a job search more
specifically. For example, if you want to work in the same industry 10 years from
now, research which industries are poised to continue growing over the next
decade and which to possibly avoid due to increasing automation or other
factors.
 Take different self-assessment tests.
There are a number of tests you can take to
evaluate everything from your personality to
your strengths—and even what career might be
a good fit. But tests can be overly prescriptive,
meaning they tend to impose categories on
you. Rather than rely on them for a definitive
answer, use them to continue learning more
about yourself and your underlying
motivations. If they present helpful answers,
fold that knowledge into the larger picture
you’re compiling.
 Explore industries.
Along with sectors, researching different industries may
help you identify a few that could be a good fit. Search for
established industries to see if any seem worth
investigating further. (In the US, common industries
include energy, consumer goods, and media and
entertainment [3].) Make a list of any that sound
interesting and conduct additional research to find out
about major roles, career trajectories, and projected
growth
 Seek out professional resources.

in addition to thinking through the areas mentioned above on your own, you
can also turn to various career resources for more guided help.
College career center: If you’re still in college, take advantage of the career
resources your college or university may offer. You may be able to meet with a
counselor or advisor trained to help you transition from college to a career.
Career coach: You can find a career coach trained to help clients learn more
about what kinds of work would best suit them. Career coaches are an
additional expense, so make sure to research their credentials, experience, and
background to make sure they will be a good fit for your needs.
