How did you know..
basically.. "What you wanted to do when you grew up?" haha
Just curious. : )
Re: How did you know..
I found it by accident--My first job was one that I honestly didn't remember applying for.
I work in clinical research. While I like what my company does--I feel it to be helpful to society and ethical, that isn't so important to me. I would be fine working for a company that did something less important--making lipstick for example--as long as it was ethical.
Most important for me are the following--working in a position that allows me to have as much autonomy as possible, work with people and math and science (things I personally enjoy), have some type of career growth and encourages that among employees and challenges me. My industry is also fairly lucrative and has been financially good to me. Though I could have been happy in my work for much less.
I would suggest looking at your skills and interests and assess them honestly. The. Start networking--asking everyone around you what they do and start looking at options that may be a fit.
I also think that about half of liking a job is wanting to--you need to actually learn how to keep a positive attitude and turn a job into what you want. I would also look for companies that have a culture of intentionally building employee engagement--I suspect you can find articles on large companies that have a historyof high employee engagement. And if you're not familiar with the concept, I would recommend reading about what employee engagement is.
I personally found an industry I like then moved to a second company that I felt was a better fit
Good luck!
I've always loved to plan and organize. I'm very detail oriented and I like people. I'm also the type of person who is motivated by actually seeing my hard work play out.
(I'm an event planner.)
I majored in public relations knowing that this industry can be hard to break into and owning a business can be incredibly hard to do as well. When I met my husband (I was still in college, he had already graduated), I knew I needed to focus my experience in higher education because he is a college coach and we will likely move around a lot but everywhere we go, there will always be a university.
Now I work in higher education development/fundraising doing all of the departments special events and other events for various things on campus (with the Chancellor, some with ODMA, a few of the colleges, etc.).
So, basically, I knew what I was interested in and good at (planning, details, executing, always having a plan b, c, d) and what would make me happy. And then made it realistic for our lifestyle.
TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs
I only discovered this recently, after completing over 10 years of meandering in industry. In college, I had about 5 different majors. I graduated in science but started out in project management in science-related fields. As time went on I leveraged my project management skills more than my science skills, and voila! I am now a full-fledged project manager.
I never really knew this is what I wanted to do, but I've found I've got a knack for it, so I studied professionally so I could be sure to have the creds I needed to well, be credible. What I'm finding now is strength in tangents of project management-staff development and change management, specifically. I also have interests in social media and knowledge management, so I'll keep my options open instead of just boxing myself in on project management alone.
The take away from my story is that life evolves and "what you want to be when you grow up" is a question you should ask yourself your whole life. Hopefully you'll never be just "one thing" unless that one thing is what you have true passion for. I truly envy those people-I've never found a true passion in anything other than project management.
I think I always knew I wanted to teach. I've always loved learning and wanted to share that with others.
However, as I get older and experience new things, I can think of other things that I'd like to do that I never would have considered when I was a kid. I'm still in love with teaching, though, so I haven't pursued those other ideas as a career.
When I was little, I had a tape recorder with a microphone attached to it. I used to record music off of the radio and talk in between, and make my own 'shows.' It was always a dream of mine to be a DJ, but when I got to college I chose a more 'practical' major (Physical Therapy). Eventually I just said 'screw it,' and switched to Tv/Radio Production.
I went to the job fair my senior year, and there were DJs there from radio stations I have listened to since I was little. I went and talked with them for a while, gave them my resume, and they called me the next day for an audition. Now I work with people I've idolized for years, doing something I love. It's awesome.
i always wanted to be a lawyer...not sure why, but i always did.
after practicing law for a few years, i am OVER IT!
i plan on leaving law very soon (like hopefully in the next few weeks).
what's next for me, i don't know. i'll probably do some part-time retail work and pursue some volunteer opportunities. i look forward to my next endeavor
good luck to you!
