Quick Fixes to Career Problems
|
Posted by Joni Rose Nov 25, 2007 |
Determining the career or job that will be the best fit with personality traits, transferable skills, career values, work environment preferences and career passions takes time and energy. Many adults who decide to start a career exploration process expect that the answers will come to them instantly, as if a flash of light will expose the deep seated issues and reveal once and for all the ideal career path. For a rare few, this may be the case but by far it is the exception not the rule.
The problem with expecting that career nirvana will be achieved through quick and easy assessments or other quick fixes is paramount to someone healing a chronic illness overnight. For some adults in career chaos, it has been years of bad choices and actions that have lead to this chaos. Expecting that bad habits will be changed instantaneously is not only erroneous, but it sets up the career explorer for failure.
Instead, if the career exploration process is embarked with an understanding that it is a process and that it may take a great deal of time, the chances for success increase. The other motivating factor is that the more time and energy that is put into the career exploration and development process, the greater the pay off in the end.
