Does Your Personality Match With Your Job? – by Nela Saglenova

As a part of ISG Finland’s Hearthunter program, I was given a chance to participate in job matching assessment where I could test myself and receive my own individual profile. This experience made me think. Not only about my own career, but also about other people around me and their jobs.

Let’s take students as an example. They graduate from the university. They are hungry for working experiences and usually take the first job which they have opportunity to get. Most of them don´t even think that there can exist jobs which match with their personality. Most of them use ´The Trial and Error Strategy´ in a starting point of their career.

It can actually happen at any moment of our working life, that we feel that the job is not anymore bringing us the satisfaction. We all get older, our preferences and values are changing. No doubt that we all have to do some job for a life. But why to stay in a job where our natural character is sacrificing if we can work in more suitable working place?

It is wise to learn about your strengths and weaknesses. To better understand your own character. That all leads you to selection of preferred industry, job positions and desired companies. This is a healthy basement for moving forward in your career path. Only then you can start think about the ways how to achieve a chosen job and which obstacles are you facing to. If you are not clear about how to do it, why don´t you use experienced professionals who can help you?

ISG Finland is one of those companies where you can find support and qualified, hardworking consultants who want you to be in the job you wish to be. Either you are graduate, experienced, parent coming back to working life from maternity leave, give yourself a chance to have a better life.

Remember that the manager of the 20th century, former CEO of GE, Jack Welch has said

No manager has the right to lead people, unless they know where they stand.

 

Thanks to ISG Finland and Profiles International, I know now where I stand. Do you?
