We Can All Get a Little Lost.

Does this resonate with you? It does for many of my clients.

"I felt very emotional reading my MBTI report. There I was, encapsulated in a few pages! Things I had forgotten about the 'real' me, things I had suppressed or ignored in order to adapt, were staring me right in the face. It was like saying 'Hello' to ME again and it was extremely powerful!"

Be Who You Are and Do What You Love

Part 2

Your Personality and Finding the Right Career

How Do I Find the Best Career for Me?

As mentioned in the last  article, the secret to career satisfaction is becoming aware of the natural gifts inherent in your unique personality, and finding a job that lets you use those gifts often. That is why learning about your personality type is an integral part of your career search.

The Myers Briggs Type Indicator® personality assessment tool has helped millions of individuals discover themselves, appreciate their innate strengths, and become aware of their possible blind spots. This invaluable information allows individuals to seek out jobs that best match their personalities.

 If you are in the right job, you should:

•          Look forward to your job

•          Feel energized by your work

•          Feel respected and appreciated for your contributions

•          Enjoy and respect your colleagues

•          Feel optimistic about your future

So, unless we share similar personality types, work that you find enjoyable is likely to have a very different, maybe even opposite effect on me. Instead of being energized by the same job, one individual might feel stressed and suffer burnout because they aren’t able to use their innate gifts regularly.

If you are tired of climbing uphill day in and day out at your present job, and are thinking about a career change, or just want to understand yourself better, consider a personality assessment with a Arlene Clark-Brown, qualified to administer MBTI® personality tool since 2007.

Be Who You Are and Do What You Love

Your Personality and Finding the Right Career

How Do I find the Best Career For Me?

The secret to career satisfaction lies in doing what you enjoy most. Many of us become stuck in jobs that we feel we ought to do, often as a result of well-intentioned, but misguided, advice from school counselors, parents, teachers and friends. There is a huge correlation between personality type and career satisfaction. As a general rule, the more aspects of your personality you match to your work environment, the more satisfied you’ll be with your career.

The right job enhances your life. It is fulfilling because it supports the most important aspects of your personality by letting you utilize your innate strengths in ways that come naturally to you, and rarely requires you to do things you don’t do well. Different jobs and in fact, different aspects of jobs, satisfy different types of people. You might be in the right field but the wrong end of it.

Since the right job is dependent on all the elements of your personality type, figuring out who you are and what ‘turns your crank’ is the first step. Recognizing and understanding your personality type can change the way you see yourself which in turn affects everything you do and every aspect of your life including career choices.

For over 50 years, career counsellors and human resource specialists have been using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator® personality tool to help individuals discover their innate gifts and possible blind spots so that they may seek out careers that will allow them to GO WITH THEIR STRENGTHS. If you are tired of swimming against the current and would like to find a job that is more in tune with your natural abilities, or if you have just started on a pathway to greater self-awareness, consider taking the MBTI personality assessment with Arlene.
