Know what you want

Part of the success of finding the right job is to actually know what would make you happy. This question is not just about what kind of industry you wish to be involved in, but more about how you like to spend your day. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Do I like to be surrounded by lots of people all day?
• Do I like to work with strangers?
• Do I prefer to work on my own or in a group?
• How do I respond to tight management structures?
• Am I self motivated enough to work in an environment which gives me more freedom?
• Do I enjoy the challenge of meeting bonuses?
• Can I live with the uncertainty of earning by commission, or do I need an hourly wage to be productive?

These questions will help guide you to know what will actually make you happy in your job. Remember that you will spend most of your waking life in your job, so finding the right one for you is essential for a happy life and healthy psychology.
