Career and Coaching Tips

What Happened to my career?

Do you have a job or do you have a career?

工作或职业生涯

一份工作是支付账单的方式;您可能会很多，有很多同事，并为一家对待您的公司工作。

另一方面，你可能会发现它是一个漫步，感到沮丧或无聊，觉得事情不会去任何地方。

超过一份工作

A career, however, is a lot more than a job: yes, it too is about paying the bills, but it's as much about the future as the present.

良好的职业生涯建立在您的技能，优势，先天能力和激情中。

That last quality may be the most important.

A Career is Doing Something You Like

很多人根据他们擅长发现他们不喜欢他们所建造的东西的东西建立了职业：

“只是因为我擅长它，并不意味着我真的想在余生中这样做。”

The skills and talents may be there, but the passion's missing or it's gone walkabout somewhere along the way.

职业生涯可以选择你

职业有时会选择人，而不是其他方式：我们听到很多人都说

“我刚刚陷入______________;我没有真正醒来一天，并说我想成为_____________。”

But since very few jobs are for life these days, it's very possible to have two or three or even more careers in a working life.

继续

You may feel that you've done everything you want to in one particular area and are keen to develop in another.

Or you may have built a terrific career and then become disenchanted with it.

或者你现在可能会更好地放置更好地选择一个不同的职业而不是你陷入的那个。

您甚至可以同时拥有一个以上的职业生涯，有一个术语创造了许多年前，这一切都是关于有一个“投资组合生涯”，在那里你有许多字符串给你的弓。

Changing Your Career

你可能是在十字路口，并在那里深入了解你仍然想要做的事情，但并不完全确定它是什么，或者不确定如何到达那里。

这就是为什么那里有这么多职业顾问（有些好的，有些不那么好，有些真正可怕）帮助点在正确的方向上指出人们，甚至让他们安慰他们所做的事情。

一个好的职业

A good career is one that develops and evolves over the years; it doesn't stay static; it builds as you get new skills, become more proficient, expand your passions and perhaps even get more daring in the choices you make.

You may still be paying the bills, but having a career that's fulfilling not only brings in the bacon but also brings in satisfaction, pride, enjoyment, creativity.

There may be frustrations and grief along the way - hey, that's part of the working world - but if you're happy more than you're unhappy, you've got the right career.
