How did you get your favorite job?

Question

Did you know you wanted it? Did you have to get some kind of training? Who did you talk to? Did you do a Resume? all that jazz, and why do you like it so much?

Answer 1

I slept with myself......I'm self employed. Got hired the next day.

Answer 2

Most of it is right time right place. However I used to work for the American Embassy in Germany and loved my job there. It took one whole year of bombarding them with resumes (two a month) to finally get a position with them. I was trained in all sorts of fields and loved every bit of my job. Unfortunately Time did not permit for me to finish my degree while I was there so I had to post pone my job to finish my degree and go back to where I love it best with more money and benefits (love the power of education).
It does take a lot of dedication to achieve what you want. Just stay on top of it and like what you do. The best way to figure out what you like is to try different things. Some times it requires starting off really low in the food chain. You have to build up relationships with people and they will get you places you wan to be.
When you write your resume make sure you adjust it to meet the expectations of HR.

Here is a book that could help you decide what field you might be interested in working in: "What color is your parachute"

Good luck
