Choose a career that’s right for you

The secret to having a fun and exciting career lies in matching your personality style to careers you’d love the most. Suitability for a career is determined by a number of factors, including your personality style. If you choose a career based on your strengths and personality you will enjoy your job and be happier at work. 

When your strengths match the job it’s a ‘good fit’. Employers call these your employability or transferable skills.

People are most successful when they are in jobs that allow them to use their natural strengths. Knowing your personality style is one of the best ways of finding out what you are good at, and the careers that best match.

Each of us has great potential, and each personality style has its own unique strengths and weaknesses. You have your individual talents; what you’re good at; how you like to do things and what you enjoy most. These can be different from your family and friends and that’s what makes you unique.

We all have different strengths and being clear on those strengths can help you to decide what you want to do at school, college or university. Knowing your strengths can help you choose a career and even how you spend your spare time. But that’s not all. When you use your strengths, you start to build your self-esteem. This is because using your strengths gives you a feeling of positive energy and gives you the confidence that you are doing something well.
