Career Myth # 1: You can not live to do something really, really love
The grandfather of the profession, the myths, the belief that you are not a "practical" career to do something to inspire you. There should be one or the other.
This myth is based on fear. The fear that we sacrifice our happiness for life. Do not buy the myth that you do not earn a living as you want.
When I started training, I have a lot of people would be very difficult to take this work to life. I have decided that buses were a success and learn from them (easy, huh?). If you are interested in purchasing this myth is that the investigation of this question - What do you look back in your life you have remorse? Following your passion or your fears?
Career Myth # 2: This is a difficult market / economy
Although newspapers and other sources say that unemployment will remain stable, that employment is at a point, or the slow recovery of the economy by downsizing and outsourcing, do not believe.
It is a myth because it does not reflect the whole story, the fact that there is another labor market today. It is a changing economy. With the transition from one job to another. Closure of the cases have been developed. And in the labor market has changed, but not necessarily difficult. What makes it more difficult, they were slower to change. We have, in practice the old practices and old. That does not mean that the old methods still work, but they just are not as effective.
So I ask you not think there is a market for the perfect job, allowing you to find work. I have my students for free, just for a week and often several of them a job or important relationships in the week.
Career Myth # 3: Changing a career is risky
What is the risk, so that it knows the unknown? Another career behind him with a piece of its identity - its "I'ma lawyer" response to the "no-what-you doing?" Question. You may make a mistake with a first career decision. Or it may signify a recognition of the fact that you are not sure of the second. And the smart people always know what the next step in the right direction?
No. The success of the race, often without a plan. Identity at work: how well his career Changers Turn Fantasy into reality by Herminia Ibarra, has shown that waiting until a plan is more than risky experiment.
Nothing, nothing is more dangerous than a race, if you want to do. Here's why: The desire is not going to disappear. It is always on the surface, something to do.
Career Myth # 4: Always have a plan
Sometimes, a plan for the chip and the prudence of the measure. Backup plans and responsible adults. But what happens when one leg and one foot in? In my experience, we will close the door and withdrew. We are ready to join us, and we met strip is full of satisfaction, dirt and sweat. We come with feelings of grief and heartbreaking "what if?" Question.
Back-up plans, diversify our energy sources. Energy spread is the dissemination of results. Enter everything you need for your dream / passion / risk, and has a better chance of success.
Career Myth # 5: There is a perfect job, so for all
How long have you been looking? You know, a work that is ideal for you. Is your personality, talents and interests to a tee. And paid well. If your understanding. If you only know what it was.
Is there a perfect job for you? No. And here's the good news - there are more jobs than you can imagine, as "perfect" for you. The probability that comes very close to some of these posts already perfect. So what happened? And if you see one of these so-called "perfect job"?
Never the perfect gift for someone, but at the end of his birthday? And when you are in the search for later, you can not. Another missed opportunity, and if you buy engueuler is not the first time that you see.
So, maybe in a perfect job in the past, but because the schedule of this possibility. Or focus on something else, like an index in the hand. Very hard the last thing I do not change, the desire to open our eyes and look for evidence.
Career Myth # 6: Question: "What is best for me?" questions
It is one of the FAQ if you have a career or a career. It seems that logic - and evaluating the balance sheet.
Not on this subject! Rarely leads to the answers you are looking for. They believe streaming options (sound familiar?), Or the impression that you should choose what is useful, it probably is not realistic.
The question about the answer is simple (not easy!) The "What I'd like to do?" It is an entirely different matter than the best?.
Career Myth # 7: If you are not your job, you're probably in the wrong career
Cause and effect, right? One option if you're in the race, where his work. If you are not satisfied with their job is probably a sign that his entire career. It is often said that my new clients who have chosen a career coach. They know that something is wrong because they do not like their work. Their hypothesis is that their unhappiness is a symptom of a bigger underlying problem - the choice of career.
This is an example of false logic. Not like your job, you say you are poor. This does not necessarily mean that you are in the wrong box. Do not say you're in the wrong use. It can be applied to the poor or bad business. It is a smart detect the source of dissatisfaction, and I think it is very difficult to do (career coach this shameless plug!).
Career Myth # 8: Everyone needs a mission
Do you know what is your job? Mission statements, we have to steer in the right direction and we can go. But what else? If this means you will never be an answer to their possible career choices?
A customer who was a success with me, because she was at a turning point in his career. She noted that if your only mission in life, know that your career to take.
He had a clear objective for the service - to work! In contrast, most fantastic things. She has decided that there is no need for a job. She has confidence that is being carried out their duties, but did not know what it was. After his former clients of his interest in the work of his life to live, an incredibly good and kind he was. Here's a tip: if the mission is not tangible, so to hunt. Stay and get found. And now, live your life and see what happens.
Career Myth # 9: Wait a career Revelation
To create a link "Find Your dream job", you have to see what it is? Not all the "Top Ten Career" list to see if something interests you? Do you know your MBTI? If you do this, can offer career revelation myth.
I would love, love, love, when most of my clients have a career in the Apocalypse, of course, the next step. Instead, I see the race "deployment" of a discovery more. You must be willing to overlook the fact is a fact that the cheeks, producing the effect of noise. Yes, even a harp and the music of angels, for most of us, the race, a quiet revelation noise.
Career Myth # 10: Ignoring her dissatisfaction with career
If only those working in the long run! Not at first sight. If you start to question your career, you will find more information about the considerations of the page and see if there is not. You know what I am talking about: "what if" and repent.
