Hey it's Abbi J from AJ Life Hacks and in this video I am giving you my top
tips for how to find a career you love. Because believe me, I have been in
careers that I've hated and finally I found my true passion and it took me so
long. I wish there'd just been one video that I could have watched to tell
me how to get where I am right now and to find real purpose in my job and the
work that I'm doing. So this video is for you,
and it includes all the steps that I wish I had known on my way and I've
discovered the hard way. So let's get right to it.
The first tip I have for you
when it comes to finding a career that you love and find really fulfilling, is
to explore your talents. Now I know that you've heard some form of this tip
throughout your life. Especially in high school when they tell you you have to
decide what you're gonna do for the rest of your life. But honestly this is you
being a little bit more truthful with yourself when trying to discover what
you love about you and what activities bring you such joy. So truly take the
time to figure out, "do I love physical activity? Am I really good at writing? Am
I super good at math? Like what subjects have I not truly gravitated myself to
and if I could just do it all day every day." I would do 6 hours of math instead
of like six hours of PE? Or I would do writing and science because those are my
favorite things like, what is it that you just love and have found you're
passionate? Because those talents that you naturally have and that are God-given
and also that you've worked on and created for yourself. They are going to
lead to some of the fulfillment that you're after in a career. So it's
critical to know those, and the second tip that I have for you when trying to
figure out your career, is to take those talents and now write a list of things
that interest you. Now note that I didn't say careers that interest you, you can
include those too but I don't want you to focus on that. So many times I felt
like I got a little bit of astray on my true loves and my true wants out of
life because I was already tailoring them to a career. I thought, "oh I like
writing so I guess that means I have to be an English teacher." When know there
were a million different things but I tailored that talent to that career and
not career only and guess what? I don't want to be teacher, so that meant that
was out. So on this list I want you to truly write everything that interests
you. Write writing, write maybe teaching, write that you love to play football.
That you love to interact with kids that you have so much fun teaching your peers,
like just put it all down and don't worry about
tailoring or matching that skill up to a career yet. My third tip for you is to
identify what you want most out of a career. Now I get that some of you
probably instantly went, oh I want money. I want recognition. Well specifically
try to narrow it down to these three categories: Are you after recognition?
security? or freedom? You know recognition is kind of more your doctors your
lawyers your firefighters your police officers.
People who find fulfillment out of the type of work that they do and how
they're recognized for that work. I feel like teachers fall in this too. You know
they feel so rewarded for helping their students. Security is more that you care
about the benefits of your company, the compensation, that you're making and that
this is a really steady job for you and that things are very like orderly and is
pretty like day after day you're doing about the same thing. And you find
enjoyment and being very skillful in your work, and the third is freedom. This
is that you could care so much more about having the ability to come and go
to work or work, when you're able to instead of necessarily tying that to a
salary or instead of being at your desk all day. Now
for some of us we think oh those are awesome. I'm all of those types. Well to
truly narrow it down, you need to ask yourself which of those would I give up
for the other one. For me I am a full blown freedom girl and I'm all about
giving me you know the ability to leave when my work is done and work super hard
and get it done and have flexible hours. I'll take that over a salary raise any
day and so that's a good indicator that my main thing I'm looking for in a
career is some freedom and some autonomy. So what is it that you're after in your
career? And one of those three categories really speaks to you? My fourth tip for
you is to do your due diligence. Now I get that they do personality assessments
and they kind of tell you what career path and college degrees will really
work for you in high school and even elementary school. This goes so much
further beyond that. This is that you utilize every tool available to you
particularly internships. My greatest regret in college was that I just signed
up for an internship that I knew the lady. I knew I could get
it done super quick and I'd be in and out. And it really wasn't something it it
pertains to my major but it wasn't like the career field exactly I wanted to go
into but I was going to do it to get it done. And I wish that I truly like been
strategic about the internships I chose and chosen an internship at like a place
that I really wanted a job at or in something that I thought could really
give me an insight into that industry but instead I used to the easy way out
and so for you, you know, go talk to people. Interview of a person who has a
job close to yours. Interview of somebody who has a job so far away from what you
thought your major was capable of to just inspire you and get you thinking of
different ways that you can use the knowledge that you have or maybe what
you even want to go to school. So interview people, do internships. I don't
care if it's working for free this is your future that you're setting up! And
my last tip for you is to never give up on that great job. Now full disclosure, no
matter how amazing your dream job is you're the CEO over the company, you're a
stay-at-home mom, you're that doctor you wanted to be, you're that teacher. As
awesome as that is going to be for you and it can be your dream career there
are gonna be days when it's hard to get out of bed and go to work. We all
experience that. I'm not talking about those days when Monday morning is hard.
I'm talking about the day after day, year after year, is it okay and are you happy
to go to work? Because if not, if you're finding yourself miserable in your job,
then get out! Go find that job because a good job is out there for you. So I hope
these steps help you and I really hope you take them seriously especially doing
your due diligence to figure out what possibilities are out there for you
because we tend to limit ourselves and say, well I'm gonna be a teacher and that
means I can only teach the subject at this time at this school like. We start
to really limit our focus into what we believe a doctor does or what we believe
a teacher does and we don't open our mind to all the possibilities for a
career around us. So I would encourage you to do that please leave a comment
below for maybe a career choice you are so excited to explore. Give this
video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel if you haven't yet because I
have amazing videos coming out for you all about how to build your career, how
to nail that interview, and how to talk to anybody anywhere. So I'll see you in
the next video. Thank you for watching Abbi J out.
