Happy new week! We are in the Christmas week, getting ready to relax and enjoy our festivities with friends and loved ones. This time is also one for reflection; how the year has been, what we are grateful for and what we hope to do differently come 2022. Today, we are all about our dream jobs. As we prepare ourselves to get into 2022, we are hopeful that the year will be a great one and that we will even be more passionate about what we do or hoping to do. So, what should you look for in a dream job?
1. Satisfaction: Are you satisfied at the end of the day? Is your work engaging? When you have freedom to decide how to do your work, have a variety of tasks that are well defined; from start to end and feedback, you are able to enjoy your work more.
2. Competence: It is very important to do work that you are good at. Hone your skills. Being competent gives you a sense of achievement which is very important in leading a satisfactory life. You are also able to negotiate for the ability to work on meaningful projects, undertake engaging tasks and earn fair pay, in the workplace and the marketplace as well.
3. Opportunities to serve others: There is so much joy in helping other people. Look at your job as a space to serve others in as much as you are making an income.
4. A positive environment: As a business person, it goes without saying that you need to position yourself where your target market is for your business to flourish. At the office space, it is important to have supportive colleagues and an overall healthy work environment. You may not get along with everyone but in a positive environment, you will grow and enjoy your work.
5. Work that fits with the rest of your life: Your job may pay the bills and give you the flexibility to thrive in a side hustle. If you would like to grow your hobby into a business, you can eg get a part-time job and spend the remaining hours building your enterprise.
