How to find a job that makes you happy

People always wonder what job is right for them and what career they should choose. The biggest mistake people do when searching for the right job is that they ask others who know very little about personality types and as a result they get incorrect advice.

Knowing what job is right for you is 100 percent dependent on understanding 2 facts, 1) the first is that we are different and so what your friend recommends might not be what you are looking for 2) The second is that understanding yourself is the key to finding the right job for you.

Self understanding is the key to finding the right job that can make you happy

Let me give you an example to make it clear. I am a person who prefers to work alone rather than in teams, i love waking up late and i don't like to stay in an office. Based on these facts i know about myself i discovered that the right job for me was running an internet business which is something i am doing now.

Now if we went back few years before i completely understood myself we will find that everyone kept recommending the right job for me according to their own perspective. I met people who told me that teamwork is the best thing ever and that if i didn't work in teams i won't learn anything.

Now what happened when i followed the career recommendations given by other people is that i felt unhappy because i discovered that i was doing things that i don't like even though others liked them. In my book, The ultimate guide to getting over depression i said that working for a job that you hate is one of the fastest ways to ruin your mood and even become depressed over the long term.

In short the key to finding the right job for you is to understand yourself perfectly then to look for a job that suits your personality. Finding the right career is not about asking others for recommendations but its about knowing what job will make you happy.

Happiness and finding the right job for you

Some people do the fatal mistake of going for a job that they don't like or a career that doesn't match their personality as a result of the limiting beliefs they have. A belief such as "i won't find a job opportunity easily thus i will go for the first job i find" is one of the common beliefs that lets people land jobs that they dislike.

The right job for you is not necessary the job that make you feel happy while doing it but at least it must not be the job that makes you feel miserable each morning.

The best way to find the right job that can make you happy is to look at your current hobbies then try to find any career related to any of them. I am in love with computers and psychology thus the best career for me was an internet business that is based on psychology.

Follow these advice and you will never have any problem finding the right job.
