Finding your passion and making it your job -Yuriko Iizuka

    First of all, I was really impressed what Emma did. She quit her job even if it was very popular job and I thought her decision to try many kinds of work by contacting with cold calling was so brave. 

    I thought the goal for your career is happiness. Many of you tend to focus on your salaries and social status but it not always connect to their happiness. You shoud think deeply about what actually you want to do and have your own perspective. You can make your life more enjoiable with following your own perspective. If you feel confortable or happy when you have lots of money or social status, is it all right. You can pursue your happiness by having them.

    In my opinion, finding appriate job is difficult for us without actual working experience. Therefore, people shoud get the opportunities to know about the real job through internship or any other ways. For me, I want to reapply my responsibility and sensibility, if possible English for my future job. However, I don't know in which job I can make use of my skills and what I want to do in the future. I thought I should try to consider and having my own perspectives for my future.

    It doesn't matter that you don't know what you want to do now. Just as Emma said, finding a job is like dating. We need to try various careers to decide which one is perfectly for us.

    Perhaps work shadowing could be a useful way to find out about various jobs? Would you be game to try & establish some placements where you could do it?

Finding Your Passion & Making It Your Job

Emma Rosen suggests asking yourself 3 questions to help clarify what kind of work you should do. They are "What skills do you want to be using at work?" -- Do you like to lead a team, write or solve problems? "What do you want to get out of work?" -- It could be the chance to change the world or to enjoy variety or, say, autonomy in the workplace -- and "What kind of working environment would you prefer?" -- Do you want to work in an office or outdoors, for a big company or start your own? How about you? Respond to Emma's 3 questions in this post. Emma also suggests it is important to do multiple work placements in a range of careers. That way you can choose a job based on knowledge and experience rather than assumptions, hearsay and expectations. Is this something you would like to try? If so, how could you make it happen? Emma characterises herself as a wide achiever rather than a high achiever and suggests that the 'portfolio career' where o...

  I disagree the result of personal test which I am assessed as innovator. I don’t see myself as imaginative, sociable and sympathetic. I like to talking, but I rarely start conversations myself.

I only agree with that I am assessed as rebellious. I used to don’t follow what teacher says in school. I did what I wanted to do freely.

  I totally agree with this result. I think one of my strengths is being conscientious and mature. I always care about other people’s feelings and try to see things from different perspectives. This result also says that I tend to avoid conflict, which is true because I don’t like trouble or arguments with others. I try to avoid them as much as possible, even if it means enduring something unpleasant. However, I know that avoiding conflict is not always a good thing and sometimes doesn’t lead to productive outcomes.  If I had to disagree with one point, it would be that others take advantage of me. I’ve never felt that way. If I realized that someone was trying to take advantage of me, I would make sure to express my opinion clearly.
