How Do I Find a Role I Like?

What do you feel for your current role?

" Tired?

" Feel as if no one is aware of you and you're Talents, unaware of the potential you offer?

" Hate Mondays, love Fridays?

" Do you feel you have job burnout?

" Are you feeling drained?

" Do you feel you are suffering from work stress?

" Do you suffer poor concentration?

" Do you want responsibility, recognition and fulfillment?

Just take a moment to picture what your life would be like if you woke up every day looking forward to going into work.

In a role you loved, that interested you and working with and for people that you like and inspired you.

Ponder for a moment how great that would feel.

You need to discover what your where born to do. Were all programmed differently, and need to find what motivates us, what rocks our boat.

Yes please!

But How?

Option A - wander off into the wilderness, kiss the family goodbye, wish the boss all the best, and disappear, just you and your thoughts…

Or a poor but practical

Option B - easiest and quickest way to find out would be to take a motivational test.

This lacks the deep spiritual opportunity of option 'A', but can be done at no charge under 45 minutes!

Option 'B' it is then.

The test is a set of questions there are no wrong or right answers. Don't answer the questions how you think you should answer them, answer them truthfully. Once signed up you can do the assessment in one sitting, or save your work, and come back to it when your boss leaves the office.

Take your time and discover the things you should be doing, and the tasks you should avoid. Re-read and absorb this information, as it is valuable for many reasons. Take note of your most powerful motivators, and de-motivators.

Forward thinking companies are reaping massive efficiencies by reorganizing team work to best suit individual's personalities. Team dynamics can be greatly improved through ensuring that team members are assigned tasks that suit them whenever possible.

Use this information wisely when considering your next job

You now have some valuable insight and independent insight into your personal motivations.

But the objective of taking a motivational test is to get a quick and independent assessment on your job motivation. This is a guide and should not be the basis of ALL your decision making

2. What tasks draw upon your most motivated talents?

3. Which of your highest motivations are hardly ever used?

4. Which of your objectives call upon your lesser skills?

5. What can you do about this?

6. How does your position fit your preferred style of relating to colleagues?

7. Does your current job contain the circumstances that motivate you?

8. What if there is a position in your place of work that's a better fit than your current one? If so, could you apply for it? And how would you prepare?

9. If you are feeling exhausted or burned out, which areas are out of balance?

10. If you feel you are in the wrong company or vocation, what can you do about it?
