Let’s get one thing straight: change is good – even if your mom, significant other or anyone else (

thinks otherwise. Whether you’re unhappy in your job or just plain bored, it’s probably time for a change. Unfortunately, many put off much-needed change simply because they don’t know where to begin. When it comes to changing up their job or career, many look for the obvious – more money, benefits, duties and so on. But consider this: how much happier would you be if your job fit your personality type like a glove?

Finding the ideal role for your personality type means that you first have to know yourself – and no, this doesn’t require a visit to the Dr. Phil show, personal psychic or life coach – it’s actually quite simple!

Let’s say, for example, that you are someone who naturally thrives on supporting and nurturing others, like the Advocate personality type. It’s more than just what you do – it’s who you ARE – and that’s the role you should play in each job you’re in. It doesn’t matter you work at a tech firm, veterinarian’s office or even a hot dog stand

If, like the Advocate, you thrive on being supportive and interacting with others, the worst mistake you could make is to choose a particular job that isolates you from others, right? In the same token, if you’re a hard-core introvert, the last thing you’d want to do is take on a public-facing job – you’d likely be miserable (and prone to slamming down the phone on unruly customers – no bueno!)

Your perfect job will require you to spend most of your time satisfying your ideal roles – and there can be more than one. Prioritize them.
