Career Builder: Turn Your Passion Into A Dream Career!
We've been taught to think that "career builder" is a process
out there that we subscribe to. Like those commercials you see
on TV for Career Schools. You select one and then get
information on how to apply. Then you sign up for a career.
More frequently we just fall into a career. It's often
associated with our first job or one of our earlier employments.
If it suits us we stay with it. If not we start to look around.
But what if you could build a custom career around a vocation or
avocation you're passionate about?
A passionate career builder examines what's going on in life
that consumes your mind a heart . . . and then builds a custom
job search around it. The reward is that you're extremely
committed. And you're able to generate a strong positive
response from employers. They're more likely to buy into your
passion because of your enthusiasm.
For example, let's say you love animals. In fact, you'd readily
give up your current job for the opportunity to be involved with
animals somehow. Why not turn that passion into a dream career?
The first step is personal research. Make a list of all the
personal experience you have with animals, e.g.
* You own pets you've taken care of in sickness and in health
* You do volunteer work for a local vet or have worked part-time
for one
* You know something about seeing eye dogs and how they're
trained
* You've shown animals in professional or amateur shows
* You donate time and money to the
ASPCA
* You adopted a pet after Katrina
* Etc.
Now list the specific marketable skills that come out of those
experiences. You're looking for real life applications that
could be valuable to an animal professional or organization. For
example
* You know how to administer medications or handle animals who
are ill
* You have sales experience that's transferable to
animal-related products and services
* You have administrative capabilities that could be useful in a
business setting
* You're a quick study when it comes to learning about animals
* You have office or manufacturing experience that's readily
transferable
* Etc.
Once you've carefully made those determinations, the next step
is critically important. You want to test market your ideas with
people who are familiar with animal work and who can give you
good feedback. Then you're in an optimal position to say whether
or not this is an avenue for you to pursue in the job market.
You can apply the same steps to any other passionate interest.
If customizing your search around your passionate interests
makes sense, you'll become the career builder of your dreams!
