Being Honest About Your Dream Job Dream!
Deciding your ‘dream job’ is real fun - so this is what you do…
Imagine you are there.
What is your ‘dream job’ work like; what happens in your mind’s eye; what you have for lunch; who you meet; who you loved working with. Even the sorts of things that are said too!
And please be honest with yourself – as honest as you’ve ever been in your life so far. Because if you aren’t, then you are fooling no-one else, except yourself.
Using this sort of informal visualization activity, helps you really get into ‘living’ your dream job. By doing this you will get a sense of whether you are right or wring. It will help you sift out the impostors that may haunt your search.
Outing these dream job gremlins will make you appreciate the things in a job that you really do value - as well as helping you recognize those things that are of less importance to you.
Try the exercise a couple or three times and start to cull out those things that you thought that you wanted, but now start to recognize for interlopers that weren’t that valuable at all.
Paring down to the bare bones will really help you get clear what the deepest and most important components of your dream job are. Which will help you in other phases of your decision making.
