There’s nothing magical or mystical about a job search: you first have to define and then decide upon ones that both interest you and excite you enough to get up and out of bed every day. Start by doing a simple SWOT analysis on yourself: write down on a sheet of paper your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats… therein will most likely lie the beginnings of the information that will help you focus on the right job for you. This exercise should help you discover what, if any, passions you have about the jobs you might seek: the people who are successful at that are the ones who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them. Figure that out, put it in on your resume, and let a current or prospective employer know what you’re thinking: that’s a good way to start finding the kinds of work and jobs you could be passionate about today.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 – 1950): Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist
