Career Advice - Your career dreams

Posted: Fri 05th March 2010 | Author: | Comments: [0]

Do you dream of the perfect career? How would it be, waking each day knowing that you can be in the job of your dreams. It puts you ahead of others that are in careers they do not enjoy or have lost the enthusiasm for. 

So keep dreaming of what exactly you are looking for in a career, research the requirements of the job (eg: qualifications needed, experience etc) and apply for positions.

Below is a list of some careers that are available in areas of interest to you;

  • Love Kids? – There are the choices of working in childcare, teaching, or swimming instructor. For a teaching career you will be required to complete a degree, but for childcare or swimming instructing you need a certificate. The remuneration amounts will vary as will the hours you work. For example teaching and swimming instruction will see you with school holiday breaks when children are on term breaks. Childcare can be long with the hours worked, as you may start as early as 6.00 am and finish at 6.00pm.
  • Like helping others? – Maybe a career within nursing or the medical fields. Both will require the completion of a degree, with nursing being around 4 years. If you wish to become a medical practitioner or specialise in a certain field this will take many more years to complete. Both also require you keep up to date with relevant information and changes on a regular basis. You could also do counselling.
  • Want freedom?  – There are many careers that you can begin your own business thus giving you the freedom you so wish for. Whether you have a trade career or a professional career you can have freedom within your career. Trade careers will see you completing an apprenticeship while some professional careers you may need a certificate or diploma.
  • Computer nuts?  – Technology is everywhere these days. It has become a part of everyday life. There are many careers within technology such as computer programmers, web developers, IT consultants, computer programmer, or games developer. Many of these careers require a certificate course with the possibility of doing degree courses as well.
  • An Artist?  – There is always the career of an architect, graphic designer, landscape architect, painter, decorator or interior decorator. You may only need to complete a certificate course, although there are some careers for an artist that will see you needing to complete a degree course.

We also suggest you have a look at www.careernav.com.au and go to the students tab. In there you will find the 7 step career plan. An amazing tool to help you take out the confusion of careers. Whatever career you choose, keep in mind that it is your choice to where you work.

We wish you all the luck in your pursuit of the perfect career for YOU.
