11181 3 6

Yes, in Russia and the CIS countries, and what can I say all over the world, a lot of people work without enthusiasm. They come to work like zombies, just to get paid. But this is how your whole life goes, and happiness flies out of your hands, since all your time is devoted only to work. So what should we do? How to find a job you like if you don’t know what you want?

In this article we will describe ways to solve the problem from a psychological point of view. Let's dive into simple ways to understand what you like. And there you will see what will be relevant for you.

Career Guidance Test

No matter how trivial it may sound, there are very good tests for professional aptitude. When I was about 20 years old, and I didn’t know what I wanted from life or work, fate led me to free psychologists. They are state-owned. After talking, they let me do a test on a computer, which lasted, in my opinion, 2-3 hours. I remember sitting there for a very long time, and the questions were constantly repeated.

Of course, this bothered me, but I completed the test and the result was two of the brightest professions: florist and entrepreneur. Then, at the age of 20, I did not yet know that my life from the age of 24 would begin entirely in the entrepreneurial field. Yes, times were interesting.

I want to say that there are actually a lot of free psychologists from the state. Few people know about this. Therefore, if you live in a large city or near a large city, be sure to look for such centers, they should exist. Sign up and take this test.

I would also like to note that there are such tests on the Internet, but check the cost. I also want to add, don’t be fooled by free tests of 50 questions, I’m sure they won’t tell you what you really want. Or rather, they will do more harm.

Psychologists would NOT want you to know these secrets about yourself

—Imagine this situation...
What if, instead of paying for years for useless consultations with a psychologist, in 21 days you can work with yourself? Get rid of negative thoughts and states forever. And instead live a calm and happy life? Stop living in stress due to relationships or constant lack of money?

Tell me this is impossible?

I thought so too, until I started working with myself

LIVING HAPPY IS EASY

My name is Ivan, I am 35 years old, and I have been practicing psychology for 15 years. I have studied all the basic methods and techniques through which I help people find happiness. NLP, hypnosis, body-image therapy. I was invited on television as an expert.

And it was... just a nightmare!

I lived in a state of depression for 7 years (constant stress exhausted me). I had a lot of low self-confidence (my self-esteem was below 0). I could not calmly communicate with people, it seemed to me that I was not worthy of them.

The relationship did not work out (because I was very negative, jealous, a doormat). I’m generally silent about decent earnings; I earned 15,000 rubles a month and thought that was the limit. I didn’t want to live... Envy.

The worst thing is, I thought I would have to live like this forever, and I don’t deserve love and happiness.

But it only got worse, negative states fell on me like a snowball. It felt like I was sitting in a deep, black hole from which there was no way out. Hopelessness, despair, pain, resentment.

My life has turned into endless torture. But then a miracle happened...

I FOUND THE KEY... EVERYONE HAS IT...

One day my father came home from work, a little drunk, although he never drank much.

He came into the kitchen..., looked at me with a dissatisfied expression and began to say with anger how worthless I was, how I couldn’t do anything, and in general, how sorry he was that he was my father.

At first I felt severe mental pain (this is very painful to hear from my family). Then I got offended (does that mean I’m not a favorite son?!) And then an insight came to me...

I received that magical kick that I had been waiting for all my life. It changed my thinking, my life and my relationships with my environment.

I had already forgiven my father simply because he told me the truth and I was happy about it!

But then the most interesting thing began...

Literally 5 minutes later I was already sitting at the computer and writing out all the psychological (!) methods of working with myself.

I was even confused, because my plans were to continue to suffer all my life.

It was such an incredible feeling of freedom and desire to do something that I burst into tears of happiness.

How to get a job - 7 popular areas of employment

Many people want to get a prestigious job. In this section, we looked at the most popular areas of elite employment.

To the police

New personnel will always be in demand by law enforcement agencies: the work is hard, dangerous, but, of course, necessary. There are almost no delays in police salaries, and the employees themselves have an impressive list of benefits and privileges provided by law. But not everyone is hired to serve in the police.

An almost mandatory condition is military service, impeccable health, and good physical shape. What matters is emotional stability, which is tested at the initial stage of candidate selection through testing.

Young people of any gender aged 18-35 are recruited to serve as police officers. The educational requirements of candidates depend on the position for which they are applying. A specialized education will certainly not be superfluous if you are thinking about career growth.

In the FSB

Theoretically, citizens of the Russian Federation who, due to their professional, physical, personal qualities, as well as age and education, can fulfill official duties can become FSB employees. In addition to the list of required documents, candidates are required to pass:

1. Psychophysical testing for resistance to stress.
2. Tests for drug and psychoactive substance use.
3. Physical fitness check.
4. Medical examination.

In addition, all future employees of the Security Service must undergo access to State Secrets.

To Gazprom

Gazprom is the most profitable and stable company in the country, an influential player not only in the Russian but also in the global economic market. Getting a job at Gazprom is the dream of many of our compatriots. It is believed that it is impossible to get a job in this company without personal connections, but this is just a stereotype.

You can start your search for work in Gazprom on the websites of these companies, where job listings are regularly published. If, in addition, you are a good specialist in your field, a certified graduate of a prestigious university, then it is quite possible that the doors of the company will be hospitably open to you.

To the bank

This area has always been of interest to people who dream of a career, stable earnings and high profits. Experts predict some decline in this direction in the coming years: most likely, ordinary workers - line managers, cashiers, and so on - will be laid off.

There are no strict educational requirements for consultants and operations officers (front office workers). As a rule, students from economic and law universities and people with management experience come to banks.

There are quite a lot of starting positions in banks where people can be hired without experience. In 1-2 years, many young people manage to grow vertically or horizontally in terms of their career. True, employees without experience cannot count on very large salaries. However, you can wait a year or two for the sake of your future career.

On a rotational basis

Builders, drivers, bulldozer drivers, tractor drivers and representatives of other professions, whose skills are required in the harsh conditions of the Far North and the Arctic, work on a rotational basis.

The essence of the rotation method is simple: a team goes to work for 1-3 months and performs its duties without interruption from production - living in temporary housing at construction, mining or processing sites.

Theoretically, any person of the required specialty who is ready to work in harsh conditions can be hired as a rotational worker.

Warning

People trying to find a job on a rotational basis may run into a “scam” - companies that collect supposedly “entry fees” from “future employees” for registration.

To avoid this, work only with companies that have representative offices.

Abroad

To get a job abroad (we are not talking about China and Mongolia, but about Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia), you need to look for a position either through a recruitment agency or on foreign websites.

Representatives of in-demand technical specialties - programmers, engineers, designers, IT specialists - have a high chance of working abroad. They offer good options to financiers and top managers.

Naturally, without knowing the language, it is almost impossible to get a normal job in another country. Competition in the job market in Western European countries is very high. In addition to local job seekers, people from the eastern part of Europe, Turkey and Asian countries are trying to find work there.

You can get a job in the Russian Federation in an international company, and then look for opportunities to transfer to a foreign office. If you put in maximum effort and effort, this will be a completely feasible task for an ambitious and purposeful person.

For government service

Far from the worst employment option (especially during a crisis). There is almost always a competition for civil servant vacancies: the best possible candidate is selected.

The process of entering the service is step-by-step - first, all your documents and data are reviewed, then a face-to-face or written test is conducted to determine the subject of special training.

Work experience in your specialty (for example, in a bank, if you are applying for a financial position) will be a good help. You can find out about vacancies in the government service on the websites of city or regional authorities.

What did you like as a child?

Unfortunately, our parents often do not listen to the wishes of their children. The child wanted to draw, but he was sent to football or music school. Okay, if a guy plays the guitar, then often he plays the violin. For children, this is not prestigious among their peers. Although a guy who knows how to play the violin will always have money, even if he earns money while traveling in the subway. (Joke)

Let's look at your childhood, what did you want as a child? What did you dream about? What did you like? Even if the parents were against it. Every child had some idea of ​​what he wanted from life. Astronaut, fireman, policeman and so on.

Your task is to remember what you liked and try to do it. But not all at once, but little by little. You don’t need to immediately fall into the process, try to study it a little first, watch videos about it. There are a lot of different videos on YouTube, I’m sure there will be a lot of things there.

The story of how a man became a sewer man

I read this story on a well-known site where many people share different stories. A sewer man is a person who pumps, sorry, shit out of village toilets. It was 2008, the man was working somewhere in an office, I think, in a bank or something like that. At that time there was a certain crisis and it was reduced. He was not upset and spent time at the dacha.

One fine day, I needed a car to clean out the toilet. I called and the guys arrived. They did everything, gave the money. We talked about how much they earn. It turned out to be a profitable business. And just for fun I asked, can I come with you? Long story short, he was accepted into the brigade and has been doing just that since then. He says he doesn’t regret it one bit. There is at least some movement here, but in the office there is nothing but sitting around.

I’m sure there are quite a lot of such stories, and the same thing could happen to you.

Why are we looking for ourselves?

In most cases, a person begins to live consciously by the age of 20-30. During this period, a certain crisis of meaning may arise, thoughts appear about mistakes made in the past: “If I had chosen a different path then, I would have been able to avoid many failures...” I want to feel my inner mission to follow it.

Purpose in the world

Many believe in a special purpose given to us at birth. Others believe that it is necessary to try different activities, revealing all their talents. These aspirations and ambitions save us from two important things: oblivion and the fear of living an empty life.

You can understand where the Universe is trying to take you by establishing competent communication with your inner world and the surrounding space. To do this, sign up for my consultation and reveal new facets of your “I”.

What do you love most?

Every person has a certain list of hobbies and, in general, what he likes to do. Even if you like to just sleep, there is even such a job, but you need to look for it. Any work is paid, and it is even better if it is paid when you like to do what you like.

Conduct an audit of those hobbies that appeal to you. What do you like to do: sports, tourism, writing texts, books, fishing. If you love sports or fishing, why not get a job as a salesperson in a fishing or sports store?

And people have a lot of such hobbies, but they don’t always notice them and take advantage of them. Sometimes half a life passes before people want to change something to something more positive for them. But here it’s not about work, but about some fears of changing jobs, which we’ll talk about below.

In general, the advice here is simple, find what you are passionate about and what you like to do and try to look for a job related to it. It may be difficult, but what can you do, sometimes in life not everything is so smooth.

Find yourself a mentor

In the first stages, it can sometimes be very difficult to independently understand all aspects of a new profession. To do this, you don’t have to sit and study everything yourself for years. Many prudent people in your place find themselves competent mentors who can get you up to speed much faster and give you a lot of useful advice.

In addition, they can connect you with the right people and influence your reputation by introducing you to future colleagues, partners, customers, and so on.

Previously, we talked about six types of people you should follow as an example. There you will find tips for finding a mentor who has certain traits you need in your career. Take note.

Are you looking for a job, but are you afraid that no one needs you?

All your life you have been searching for the ideal job that you would like. And they even despaired that this could happen. And the worst thing is that it leads to disappointment in yourself and your life.

To find the root of the problem and solve it, you need to immerse yourself in childhood with an experienced psychologist and close the gestalt.
