Job shopping or exploring all things you?

Do you find yourself searching every year or two for a new role? Are you always looking for a new challenge and then when you land in a role, you regret it and realize it isn’t a good fit?

When you actually find a role that perfectly aligns with who you are, what you value, and what energizes you, it no longer feels like work. You feel motivated, content, and look forward to starting your work day. Work can be fun, energizing, and meaningful. It can be gratifying, challenging, and stimulating. It can light you up, stir your emotions, and offer you assurance that you are on the right path.

Having had multiple careers and working in different industries helped to lead me to where I’m at today. All of the ups and downs and constantly searching for the “perfect" environment helped me to get closer to the “just right” fit for me. However, I didn’t work with a Career Counselor and it took me many years of frustration, unhappiness, and regret.

The journey can look different for everyone. Try not to compare yourself to others.. Just follow your heart, your intuition, and your passion. Pay attention to what you are being called to do.

Who you are and what you want will lead you on the right path. Find ways to tap into your strengths, what provides meaning for you, and what fuels you. The roadblocks will test you.

Sure, you can continue to “job shop” but this can take years and lots of regrets to figure out what you want to do. Why not work with a Career Counselor and save yourself precious time? Life is too short to be miserable at work! To learn more about my Career Counseling and Coaching services, book a complimentary consultation here.

Until next time,
