5 Signs You Found Your Dream Job

Source: Business Insider:

What’s your definition of a ‘dream job’? does it include a big paycheck to finance a lavish lifestyle? Does it mean being in a path where you do what you’ve always dreamed of?

Emmie Martin of Business Insider argues that , “Some think it’s about earning a fat paycheck or being offered great benefits; others believe it involves having good work-life balance, the ability to help others, or the chance to make the world a better place.”

Whichever category you fall under, here are 5 sure signs that you finally landed your dream job.

1. You excel at your job.
If you’re not in a position where you can be great at your job, it’s always going to be difficult to truly love it.

Don’t stay in a miserable position where you can’t excel, look for something that better suits your skills and talents.

2. You don’t mind the grunt work.
Every job comes with tasks no one wants to do, but if you truly love what you’re doing, these annoying duties become one small part of a larger project.

However, if you constantly complain about these small irritants, you’re probably not in the right position.

In your torrent of objections and cautions, you’ll never build a great career — and you might just keep others from achieving their dreams.

3. Your job fits your personality type.
Whether you have a creative, pragmatic, or analytical mind, your career should reflect it. For example, trying to make a creative mind work in a cut and dry industry will leave you tired and miserable.

Your dream job should seamlessly fit with who are.

While this alone shouldn’t determine what you choose, make sure you understand your dominant traits and those of industry leaders.

4. You like your co-workers
You should like who you work with — you spend half your week with them, after all.

Additionally, genuinely liking your coworkers makes you more productive and motivated at work, while the the opposite can actually degrade your performance

5. You look forward to Mondays.
We all love the weekend, but it’s important to look forward to going into work on Monday morning as well.

Your job should be an enjoyable part of your life, not simply a vessel to propel you from weekend to weekend.

As Confucius said, ‘Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

Are you living your dream job or do you have a long way to go?
