Finding your Soul Mate of Careers

After years in one establishment, I made the risky decision to give it all up and move to Paris for several months. In hindsight, and sitting here for the past 3 hours job hunting, I find that I am now really being put to the test. And if it's one characteristic I really enjoy about myself, it's resourcefulness. I like being pushed up against the wall, because it is at this moment do we also push ourselves to make strategic decisions.

It's been ages since I've had any real need to look for another job and I've realized how unprepared I am. Looking for a job is very much like searching for a client. It's not just about you it's about them as well. And so, the firm is presenting what they have to offer at the same time you are presenting what you have to offer.

The job or career you search for must be very much reflected in yourself. If you're a web designer, then your resume and your life outside of web designing should be entrenched in that industry and if not in the skills that surround it. This is the key to becoming an expert in your field. Jack of all trades is not the way to go at all. Specialize, specialize, specialize. Breathe your career! This is why it's so important to have passion for what you do. It's because, it's impossible to truly be amazing at something you don't like doing.

This is the key to finding your soul mate of careers. Pick what you want then invest your time into crafting your own skills and experience to get there.
