Nowadays it’s not easy to find a suitable job. Follow these tips, and possibly you can find a job that suits your personality.

● List your strong and weak points

Before you start your job search, take some time to think about your strong and weak points. 36 If you are excellent at managing your time, for example, a job in project management, or one that involves organizing others, could be perfect.

● Ask others for their opinions

Although you should know yourself better than anyone else, there are times when a second opinion is needed. 37 They may come up with ideas that you haven’t considered. You should, however, make sure that they aren’t so protective of you that they persuade you not to push yourself, or encourage you so much that you aim too high.

● Find out what potential jobs involve

38 Make sure you do as much research as possible to determine exactly what you will have to do. An office job may sound very safe if you are shy, but if you then find that you have to give regular presentations, you may not be cut out for it after all.

● 39

When looking for a job, many people have an idea of what they would like to be in the future. However, that is often little more than a dream and, even if it’s possible to reach that goal, it may involve years of hard work that you don’t enjoy. 40 If you can find a job that mirrors what makes you happy in life, it is likely that you will enjoy it and it will match your personality type.

A. Take a personality test

B. Consider what delights you

C. Think about what makes you happy and then analyze why.

D. Finding a job that suits your personality is very easy and interesting.

E. Ask your friends and family what sort of job they think would suit you best.

F. Sometimes, it isn’t immediately obvious what a job will involve until you start it.

G. More importantly, think about how they would affect your ability to do particular jobs.
