Find Yourself First, Before You Find A Job- Nimi Princewill by PsychedeliQ: 6:14pm On Aug 29, 2017 |
Find Yourself First, Before You Find A Job- Nimi Princewill The economy only gets better on paper. The list of bills to pay are growing longer, and the influx of income—relatively thinner. We can't deny the fact that a nine-to-five job, can come in quite handy now than ever. However, aside from the customary routine of trying to stay alive, finding employment, making money, starting a family and raising cool kids, everybody wants a 'little extra something' out of life. Not everyone necessarily wants to be great or "change the world" like the crazy egocentric maniacs do, but every person craves to be more useful with their hidden genius or natural creative gifts. The unemployment rate, increases almost as often as we turn on the news. Hence, people are literally cut out for just about anything that brings income, in order to stay "gainfully" employed. But while we settle for less on momentary jobs, a lot of us don't seem to find the required satisfaction that motivates us to be more productive. The privilege of changing our jobs, still doesn't do the trick, as we eventually grow tired of the new job the same way we did with the previous one. If you feel this way about your work, then you're certainly on the right track because you deserve a lot more. So, why settle for less? You can't be fulfilled in your job, if you're slowly drowning in the wrong profession! If you aren't passionate about your line of work, or can't see yourself clinging to it on a long term, then you might have chosen the wrong career path. How much of your 'hidden genius' have you discovered? How much of your natural creative abilities are directly connected to your current job? None? Very well, then; finding a new job to tolerate, should be the least of your concerns right now. Often times, the extra fulfillment we seek for in life is tied to our passions—and how well we pursue them—with the help of our natural gifts. It's our passion for something that keeps us going, even when the pay isn't exactly right, or when we encounter toxic discouraging moments. When we fail to crack open our minds to discover what our true identity and passions really are, we continue to be the unhappy employees who help our bosses achieve their dreams, while we remain miserable from continual complains—even though we could be employers of labor ourselves. Why bury your life's worth just to be enslaved by a regular job that's driving you insane, when such valuable time can be invested in a craft you're gifted in and passionate about? Find something you're good at, and work twice as hard developing yourself on it—even if you have to intern for free! Market your skills, give every opportunity a shot, and take up a job that's wired into your newfound passion. “If you wanna make money, stick with what you know and love,” Donald Trump once tweeted. Well, Mr. Trump did stick with his love for business—and a rare gift of attracting hatred from women, look where it got him... Princewill.nimi@yahoo.com 12 Likes 2 Shares

ermm.... but you can sometimes find yourself while you're working.... working reveals the clearer picture to you. Like me, it wasn't until I started working that I knew i couldn't do some particular jobs. Before then, I wouldn't have minded, but now ehn, i mind big time... also, working makes you embrace life's reality.... but don't lose sight of your big picture, no experience is a waste... 5 Likes |

Good one OP, In other news see 5 Secrets To Pass Your Next Interview Successfully. An interview provides the opportunity for the prospective employer to get to know you as a person and to verify that the skills and experiences stated in your resume are true. Assume that all the interviewees will have the necessary job qualifications. It’s how you handle yourself during the interview that makes the difference that will result in a job offer. Find the 5 Secrets to pass your next job interview as follows: 1.) PREPARE: RESEARCH IS IMPORTANT Research the organization. Find out as much as you can about their accomplishments so you know what they do and what they care most about. Punctuality is critical so check the location in advance. Whether you drive or take public transit, do a “test-run” at the same time of day as the appointment. 2.) DRESS WELL FOR THE INTERVIEW Dress appropriately and wear clothing that both fits well and is comfortable. Wear a suit in an interview in a business office. For less conservative environments, slacks and a nice shirt work well for both men and women, or women can wear a skirt and blouse or a dress. A safe rule is to dress to fit into the setting, not stand out in it. https://www.nairaland.com/4021386/5-secrets-pass-next-interview |

Best way to go! You strategically acquire needed experience, grow a good profile and resource base while gaining personal fulfillment,along the way. Won't work for those who've found their life's purpose in lounging around lazily while marstub.ating over tribal issues and fighting needless e-wars however, they rarely see sense in anything else but their mindless bickerings. |

Yes!!! There's National Health Service Scheme in Europe. Africans and especially Nigerian Employers should have some Medical Examination Reports of job seekers coming to them. With just a Driving License in England, you can be trusted to have good skills to be Prime Minister and your medical report is available through NHS. |

In a Recession, when you are not sick, but jobless, get out there and wash Ditches or be a cleaner. In Recessions and in Europe, when Business collapse, many MDs get out for menial jobs. In Nigeria, Corruption has made many of us Bastards. |

PsychedeliQ: Dear friend, I laud your emphasis of hinging one's career on one's strengths so as to be concurrently productive and fulfilled (I've written an article on that subject, too). But I disagree with your assertion "Not everyone necessarily wants to be great or "change the world" like the crazy egocentric maniacs do..." Placing side by side a personal strong and self-optimizing desire to be great in order to bring about a wholesome global change with lunacy, egocentrism, and obsession is misplaced. It reeks of an error in reasoning; a hasty generalization. The implication of that statement is that great acts which have changed the world were spearheaded by "crazy egocentric maniacs." It follows that Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King, who are widely acclaimed for their great deeds, fall under this category. Doesn't that sound absurd, given the sane and altruistic contributions (racial equality and alleviation of poverty) they made to enable a better world? Desiring greatness and its manifestion through necessitating a change (a positive one) is good and often leads to the rousing of a person's potentials and aptitude. Hence, there is no necessary link between a great man or woman and "crazy egocentric maniac." 1 Like |
