| A1 If you have a job at hand or career to choose, then it is relatively easy to see whether the skills required for it match those that you have. If not, then maybe there is a possibility to acquire some skills through learning or training. If not, then the job or career most likely to be unsuitable for you. Knowing your type and what it means can help you even further to make the right choice. So if you know what you want to do, then matching desired occupation to your own type should be relatively straightforward. Going backwards, choosing occupation based on your own type, could be a bit pointless. For example ENTp is good at seeing complete situations in development, skilled in logic and its applications, rubbish in interpersonal relations and personal health, good communicator (as probably any other extrovert) and quite flexible in general. The amount of jobs and career choices available to someone with the above description is practically endless. Even if you take into account the non-type related skills people normally have, you might narrow the list of available occupations a little bit, but still face a challenge to go through the whole list. And of course there is no guarantee that the occupation selected this way would give you job satisfaction. So the best way to go is to visualise what you want and will be happy to do and then look for the niche available according to your skills, talents and of course your type. -- Admin |
| A2 Am I offending anyone by pointing out the book "Do what you are" by Paul Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger? I know it's MBTI, but for the less secure amongst us, it's a good start of relating work to type and perhaps to understand why things didn't work out in job you held before. Another good one is WorkTypes by Kummerow et.al. although it's not a career advice book, but is does explain work-related behaviour of type. Finally, I would definitely NOT recommend The Career Discovery Project by Gerald M. Sturman: I can't see how this one actually makes any person wiser than they already are. The more generic approach of the Tiegers is way better. -- pm (ENFP) |
