How To Make A Wise Career Decision

One of the most important decisions a person would ever have to make in their life, is the decision as to what they would like to do as a career choice for themselves and/or for their family. Some people like working with their hands or with machines, others enjoy working along with other people, plenty of people like to give lectures, lessons, or just socialize with others in general. There are also many who enjoy challenges of different kinds, such as in working with numbers, or helping people solve specific issues, and don't mind being creative and taking on new and different challenges of various kinds within their personal interests towards their field of work. There are also plenty of people who don't like to take on challenges or socialize with others and just like to do what the job requires and do the minimal just to get pass the work week. While others do more than is required of them and go the extra mile with completing a project, helping a fellow co-worker, client, patient, or customer.

My personal opinion as to making a wise career decision is to first know yourself by being truly honest with yourself. I would also have to advise for a moment to even forget about what the job you have in mind pays and know not just in your mind but in your heart that that is what you want to do for a living. You want to be able to get up in the morning and go do on a daily basis what you enjoy doing and whether it be working with machines, people, numbers, or even doing a job that requires for you to go the extra mile or one that requires you being alone for most of the time, the end result is that if you love what you do, you'll never really work a day in your life.

Thank you!

The Benefits of Having Your Visions/Goals Outlined

We all remember creating some sort of vision board as a project for a class in either elementary school or middle school, and at that time, we either saw it as something fun and exciting to do, or just another stressful homework/project. As we get older, things similar to a vision board/creating outlines for things we want to accomplish become essential for our everyday lifestyle, and our long term goals. Today, we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of having a plan/schedule or outline for everyday life, as well as long term goals. 1. When you have a schedule/a to-do list, you efficiently assign a sufficient amount of time required to complete certain tasks, rather than leave most things undone because of distractions or not having a particular guideline to follow. This is most prominent amongst youths as we often get side tracked by social media, or other entertainment factors that hinder us from completing our daily tasks. 2. Motivation: When you wake up everyday, look at the...

To Wear or Not To Wear?: Tips on dressing for success

So, the first step is over. You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic ! Finding an appropriate outfit can be intimidating, but with the help of Google it is possible. Second, the outfit you should wear is based on what type of position you are going for or what your potential company is. If it's a store like Macy's, for example, it would make sense for you to wear all black since that's the kind of uniform the employees wear. If you're working in an office setting, then you should go either business casual or professional. When in doubt of what to wear, go with business casual! Here are a few images of what business casual and professional ou...
