| | Finding Your Ideal Career (or Business) Written by Maria Marsala
Want a career (or business) that brings a smile to your heart? Don't know exactly what that career might be? This list of ideas can start you on your way. Make process fun by scheduling a visit to your favorite place -- beach, mountains, whatever -- where you can compile your lists and daydream too!Seven years ago, I completed process described below by trial and error -- or was it error and error?! I didn't have a non-biased person, such as my coach or a consultant to support and assist me in process. I created process as I went along. You are much luckier than I was at time! You have this Life Resume and you know where you can go to hire a coach! Take an assessment test: personality, skills, etc. I have compiled a few lists of free online assessment tests and quizzes for you at www.coachmaria.com/articles.html Also check your local phone book for college career centers, career consultants, or career counselors who offer such tests and many other helpful services too. Online visit coach referral resources located at http://www.coachmaria.com/coaching.html Start a new type of resume. List first paying job you had and then start writing all tasks you performed. You will not be graded on your penmanship... promise! Compose a volunteer resume, same format as listed above - listing positions and tasks you performed. Create a list of what you volunteered to do when you went to school. What organizations did you belong to? What projects did you volunteer for? If you're a mom and/or wife (dad or husband), add lists for those areas too! You're putting together a "this is your life resume".
