Careers and Jobs

I cam across this advert in an article I read and would be interested to hear how many of the readers would apply. I apologise to the women BUT you can apply too. This is an advert that appeared in the London Times in 1913

“Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours in complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success.”
Any takers?

I am sure some of you might argue that you are already doing this job. Well perhaps this is to locate your replacement.

Enjoy – funny comments accepted!!

Unfortunately many employees in Ireland are on the wrong career path. They are stuck in dull jobs which do not fit their personality or skills. These employees accept this fate without doing anything about it.

What can you do?

Well you can try and understand yourself better. Identify your interests, your preferred behaviour in a working environment, your skill and key competencies. Understanding yourself will provide clarity and help you onto the right career path.

How do I do this?

Some individuals do a self assessment but other individual use the services of a career coach and range of career tests.

There are many career coaching services in Ireland which offer career direction and a wide portfolio of career tests. These include personality questionnaires, motivational questionnaires and interest inventories.

What are you waiting for? Get on the right career path now!!
