Do you have an ideal job? Many students have not decided what to do in the future, and they agonize over it. Choosing a job is an important thing because it can change one’s whole life.

●Understanding Yourself
There are various standards for selecting a suitable job, but the most important thing is finding a job which is suited to your personality. Not a few people have stress due to an unsuitable job, and sometimes they even switch their jobs after just entering a company. They even switch their job to a different type of business. A job which is not suited to their personality makes people feel stress and does not bring pleasure. They have little satisfaction and sense of accomplishment, so they have more stress during working hours, and cannot endure their jobs for a long time. However, if they have jobs suited to their personality, they may get less stress from their work because they can feel pleasure from work. For this reason, it is important to understand yourself before choosing your job.


●Testing Your Personality
Some people already know themselves, but most of us do not know ourselves objectively. For a more objective and professional analysis, you can take tests. Nowadays, there are various programs to test personality objectively. These various test programs contain many kinds of tests from personality tests to aptitude tests. Furthermore, specialists give counseling to students based on the results of the tests.

●Making a Priority List
Before taking any action, collecting information is important, so it is important to have critical information before choosing your job. You have to know both the advantages and disadvantages of a particular job. You should have a list of job conditions you consider important and prioritize them. Many people choose their job according to three conditions: aptitude, stability of a job, and income. Furthermore, they consider their place of work, future possibilities of a job, and working conditions like business hours or days off. When you choose your job after making a priority list, you can find a job which is suited to you easily.

●Internships
Do you have a job which you are interested in, but you are not sure that it is suitable for you? To know a particular job is suitable for you, the best way is to do an internship. Nowadays, companies recruit interns from university students. The internship programs are for people who are 15 to 30 years old, but they do not guarantee a full time job. While doing an internship program, you cannot experience professional work but you can experience basic work for a particular job. Furthermore, you can get information about the job and judge whether that job is suitable for you or not. If it is suited to you, it can be a good experience before you apply to a company related to the job.

However, a suitable job will give you a sense of accomplishment in your work, and it will decrease your stress. Do you have stress because you don’t know what you want to be? Don’t worry. You are just in your 20s and there is much time to find your job. Don’t be afraid to do something new and try various experiences. It will give your job to you.
