The Best Tips to Find Your Dream Job

Know your strengths - Just because you don’t know what career you want doesn’t mean you don’t know what you’re good at. A great way to focus on your skills is to make a list of your strengths. If that doesn’t come naturally to you, ask a friend or trusted co-worker their opinion. 

Evaluate your past to avoid disappointment - To help you clarify your feelings about previous jobs, so you can look for similar or different characteristics in the future.

Talk to people  - Start taking some time to request and schedule informational interviews with people in the fields you’re interested in to learn about their career paths and get advice.

Take some classes - Try something new whenever the opportunity presents itself. Take online classes, attend workshops, read books, and watch YouTube tutorials. By taking these chances, you may find out what you are really passionate about.

Consider what you need from a work environment - Do they work as a team or on their own? Can people work remotely or are they expected to work in the office? What is the work-life balance like?

Do what makes you happy - What would make you the happiest (i.e., NOT what would make you the most money)?
