The page “What is your dream job” helps you to identify your dream job using the best set of tools… I recommend to follow step by step to get a good overview of your abilities.
Before you can identify your position, the following step can help you to prepare your job search:
1. Self-knowledge
- I know what motivates me to excel.
- I can identify my strongest abilities and skills.
- I have several major achievements that clarify a pattern of interests and abilities.
- I know what I both like and dislike in work.
- I have some ideas about what I want to do during the
next 5 years. - I can list my major accomplishments in action terms.
2. Knowledge of Employers
- I know what skills I can offer employers in different
occupations. - I can clearly explain to employers what I do well and
enjoy doing. - I can specify why an employer should hire me.
- When I’m ready to find an internship or job, I will be
able to identify and target potential employers.
3. Job Search Skills/Contacts
- I can conduct research on different occupations,
employers, organizations and communities. - I can write different types of effective resumes,
internship search letters, and thank-you notes. - I know how to network to develop connections in
occupations and companies that interest me. - I know websites and other resources where jobs and
internships of interest are posted.
