What Is a Good Career Fit?
12:32:56 2024-08-11 982

The more you know about yourself, the easier it will be for you to choose and prepare for a well-matched career. In addition to getting the right training or education, you must consider your values, and what is important to you. For instance, do you value creativity or your work environment over financial success? Do you seek a career that provides travel opportunities or one that allows you to spend a lot of time with family? To be happy in a career, your values and priorities should line up as closely as possible with the requirements of a job.

Is it important to find purpose through work?

While what matters most in a job depends on the individual, people just starting out in their careers often feel pressured to find their one true calling. This can be counterproductive and close them off to experiences that could be meaningful. It’s generally better to play the long game, prioritizing learning and developing skills that will be valuable later on.

How do I choose a career?

While there is no one right profession, most people are happier when their chosen work aligns with their core values. To discover your core values, look to your role models for clues, try out an online values inventory, consult with a career counselor, and/or spend some time reflecting on your own experiences.    

Is it better for me to be a generalist or a specialist?

While there are exceptions, generalizing rather than specializing can help you navigate your career, especially early on. The paradox of expertise is that specializing too soon can be detrimental for your career; for every Serena Williams or Steve Wozniak in the world, there are far more people who find success by following their curiosity and developing a wide range of interests and skills.  

How do I find the perfect job for my personality?

Psychology often plays a major role in matching people to suitable professions. John Holland’s Occupational Themes, also known as the Holland Codes, identify six vocational personality types: Realistic (Doers), Investigative (Thinkers), Artistic (Creators), Social (Helpers), Enterprising (Persuaders), and Conventional (Organizers). Using these categories, you can explore careers that are a better fit with your personality and values.

What are the smartest professions?

Some jobs are well-suited for the super-smart, including physician or surgeon, lawyer, college professor, electrical engineer, researcher, data scientist, IT expert, and materials and design engineer. Of course, not all intelligent people choose to pursue these types of careers, which often require years of additional schooling culminating in an advanced degree and a specialized skill set.
