Hi folks,
I borrowed the same title as the previous post because I have exactly the same question.
What career is best for me ??
I have tried the career/personality books but they are too wide in scope. My personality type is ISFJ ( Myers Brieg ) and I would some up my perosnality as being sensitive,interested in caring for indivuduals and thier needs, prefer good works environments with little conflict and I like to work on small teams or with a few individuals at a time - sometimes even one on one. My background is computers/software support.
Currently, I work in a large company often times by myself with limited interaction. If there is a problem I fix it - but I don't get much satisfaction and I have none of the conditions i listed above. Any thoughts friends or palces to visit on the web ?? |

Dear jg:
OK, you've got a start on what's best for you. Now work on what you are really interested in/passionate about. Hobbies? What did you like to do when you were a kid? What articles do you read from start to finish? What kinds of magazines/web sites do you read/visit often? What topics do you love to talk about? Make a list. Don't let the "I can't make a living at that!" gremlins get you while you're doing this. Give yourself about a week to work on this. If you're still stuck, consider working with a career coach to get you unstuck.
Best of luck,
Jane
