People are all one of a kind

by | Sep 25, 2022 | business, mentoring, self-esteem

All of us had a childhood fantasy job: astronaut, cowgirl, or particle scientist; ski instructor or firefighter; baseball player or firefighter; etc. As we get older, our experiences tend to restrict us from imagining things that are out of the ordinary.

While this may be the case for some people, it is not always the case. Because of a combination of your ancestry and upbringing, you have a distinct set of abilities and resources at your disposal. However, this doesn’t mean you won’t be happy with your desired career.

If you’re looking for something that never comes to fruition, you may be miserable. Another way of putting it is that you should begin your job search by weighing your goals against your abilities and circumstances.

Focus on your strengths. Obviously.

Strength is right, and in the corporate world, how do you discover your “strengths”?

It isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it. If you’re 5-foot-4, you won’t be running triangles in the NBA. However, if you’re speedy, clever, and have a nearly four-foot vertical leap, you may be an exception. We all remember Tyrone “Muggsy” Bogues. It’s difficult to go past your physical limitations and into your psychological, social, and emotional features, and this is true for every person. When determining your professional capabilities and potential career path, ask yourself the following questions:

Do you have any of the following skills?

Do you have the ability to work with others?

Is it okay for you to have your ideas questioned and changed by others?

It’s true that you have access to the whole corporate world. The ability to work well in a group is one of the top three qualities employers look for in newly graduating workers, according to Forbes.com.

To be honest, starting your own business or working in a creative or entrepreneurial field like the arts or entertainment might be a better choice for you.

Do you have a good sense of order? Are you able to keep track of numerous tasks, deadlines that aren’t related, and the specifics of a job well done?

No, I don’t find it fun at all.

Do you have what it takes to succeed as a project manager? People that are able to maintain track of a project’s various parts and actors are needed.

No, you’d be better off learning a skill that employers want to see you have.

 Organizational skills become less important if you excel at something specific, such as coding.

No, I don’t have to repeat myself all the time. You may be unable to convey your thoughts to others in a clear and concise manner.

A job that requires writing or the exchange of ideas, such as marketing and public relations or journalism and publication or politics and academics, should generally be avoided if you are unable to explain yourself clearly.

No, the foundation of many industries is strong communication abilities. They can be really useful if you have them. Working your way up the corporate ladder to management roles such as “corner office” necessitates the ability to clearly express your company’s aims and plans.

Do you have a good grasp of social etiquette? Is it easy for you to relate to others on a personal and professional level because you have the ability to listen, understand multiple points of view, and be open-minded and non-judgmental?

The ability to communicate well with others is critical, even when you’re not an expert. They offer a wide range of managerial positions and are essential for any customer- or public-facing position, such as sales.

In fact, for the vast majority of jobs, the workplace is one that is fundamentally social. In the absence of strong interpersonal skills, your career options will be significantly restricted unless you have a unique set of abilities. If you’re an introvert, you might want to invest some time in learning a new skill.

How adaptive are you? Do you know how to deal with stress well?

Marketing, stock trading, and the media are all well-known for their high levels of volatility. If you wish to work in these fields, you must be able to deal with adversity.

No, a great deal of work relies on risk management, which is the process of creating a plan and monitoring the conditions in which it is put into action. Make sure you’re working in an area with well-defined methods and guidelines if you want complete control over your projects.

So in the end, as you see yourself as an individual, everyone else sees themselves as well. Try to respect that and go beyond your limited views. Blend in, fit in, adapt, transform yourself, and it will just get better.

Thanks for reading, and I will see you in the next one!
