Career job information for job seekers and find good employment job

How do you decide if you have a better future beyond medicine.
In a survey of 1,300 doctors made relatively recently, (1), 63 percent said they would not be the medicine as a career to their children a good idea, explaining that the society does not value the enormous amount of hard work and intelligence is needed. Because of this feeling undervalued, many doctors consider stopping the drug. If one of them, we have some advice for you.
In our scientific work as career counselors, who are approached by hundreds of physicians each year who say they want to leave medicine. In some cases, your instincts are right, a career change is the only way to restore the values and skills that value. However, less than half actually get out. The rest are capable of ways to obtain compliance with their current job. This article (reprinted with permission of the revision of Ophthalmology, November 1998), we give three universal exercises you can do to help you focus on what's missing in his career, and will give you some ideas on how to, or elsewhere, if necessary. Both exercises at the end of the printed version of this article, and the transition from the race itself, applicable to all qualified professionals in a specialty.
If you are thinking about changing careers, either in whole or in part, several factors into account. In the following years, you have the opportunity to work his attitude and talent. A pencil in hand, so you can make yourself and your career trends meters.
Take stock of your skills
A key to evaluating how your career is what influences you are doing. You can use a general answer to the following year. A list of six personal and professional performance that matter most. In the table marked Exercise 1 (Click here for a print version) found at the end of this article (in print. Ophth Rev November 1998) Imagine a grid consisting of six vertical columns, and said set of skills as rows. At the top of each column, rather than a word or two descriptions of their favorite performances. Then, cross-linked these benefits to each of the skills used in them, placing an X in the intersection. Once done, we will discuss the results. (The skill is often used in ophthalmology at the top of the list are marked with an O.) How many of their brands fall within the competence of ophthalmology? By comparing the skills felt more satisfied with those normally used in ophthalmology, you get a rough idea of how much you enjoy your work every day and how much we have internalized and made part of you.
However, if many of its activities and not ophthalmic context, does not necessarily mean you have to abandon ship. Remember, less than half of the professionals who come to us for guidance in actually end up changing careers. You may request to significantly increase their career satisfaction simply want to upgrade their skills in their current situation.
Examples of people who are fulfilling their current career to change a bit. A dentist of our customers enjoy the sales and financial challenges involved in real estate. As a result, real estate studies at night school and eventually bought a house. He rents, and are happy with the skills that are idle exercise. Some doctors I work with are very good at handling medical data. They were able to reverse this skill for the medical industry small software house. So many surgeons have been able to get their income and intellectual stimulation to be completed by inventing or perfecting medical instruments.
However, some people realize that to fulfill his quest for a career change can be achieved. An ophthalmologist thought it was a lawyer unless financial magazines and more magazines. On his days off, he would study the analysis of the stock market. There was an ongoing portfolio analysis, and despite its small, I knew well. His interest in finance eventually became his full time vocation.
Find the values
The other aspect of his personality that values explore things, tangible and intangible let up in the morning and face work, such as autonomy, power, or safety. Exercise 2 (click here for a print version!) Will help you identify the values that are important to you. Appreciate the importance of each item in the list with a number of 1 to 5. Five: the issue is one of its "very important" four is "usually a value," three is "sometimes" has two "rare" and "never." Do it now.
Now that you have entered your answers, I total. If the total exceeds 100, go back and change what is 100 or less. This process is most useful if you think carefully about where to compromise rather than decrease the score of each for a fixed amount. Put your new score along with scores of age. We will discuss in particular what it can tell when you are finished.
After seeing your accounts, you should be able to a general sense of what values are important to you, and compare them with the values often found in ophthalmology, such as predictability and control of a rapid pace.
In some cases, certain values have had in his career when he started, but have since lost, or their values can be changed while the race so far. For example, some physicians believe that simply do not enjoy the interaction with patients. For a person like this, and do not find satisfaction in his current position, it is often not enough to learn what you do not like their work. Instead, you should try to isolate the values you like. This allows you to focus your energy on career search with a good chance of success. Maybe he still loves the intellectual challenge of medicine, and prefer to work in research, or perhaps more interesting is business, and would do best in an administrative role.
This can also be useful in terms of turning a negative situation into something positive, too. Even if you feel dissatisfied with some aspects of practice, you may find that they actually have many common values with ophthalmology, after all. Remember that every profession has its deliberations. For example, although members of the business and financial world do not have to deal with Medicare, have many other frustrations that often refer to the above decision to accept reasonable. In practice, it is likely that the boss, and everyone looks to you.
Your career health
The last exercise is general. It shows how closely their behavior and personality similar to those of individuals who have demonstrated their effectiveness in managing their careers. For each of the states in the exercise 3 (click here for a print version!) Rate how often it applies to you, making it one of the two "always", one by one "sometimes" and a zero for "never." As always we will discuss what the results mean after exercise.
These questions are more "welfare of career inventories" which is based on our renewal book, people who succeed in making your game describes working life. They are very good to meet both their skills and values in their current situation or completely new. Your score can give you a rough idea of how their behavior and attitudes towards people who play the running game very well.
After counting the scores of each statement, if you find that the total is less than 20, could mean that there are some areas you can work to improve the chances of finding satisfaction in the ability to upload and / or values. For example, we worked with a cardiologist, which show some of these healthy behaviors. He was good at building relationships with colleagues, was performed to convert the random events into opportunities, and was optimistic. After working a short time in practice, he realized that just do not like touching the patient. But he still loved medicine, especially in the Admin. So instead of being beaten by his stumbling block it seems huge, saw an opportunity. Because he had a good relationship with colleagues, persuaded them to do more practical work and allow you to manage the business side of practice.
Another doctor found that she was speaking in public more and exercising less medicine to enjoy. Our advice is to find opportunities to speak at meetings and seminars in the community. By creating a market for this skill, soak in more practice.
In almost all cases in which a successful professional career management, optimism and energy are the keys. Since they can identify new opportunities in other careers, to see "how well has it, by picking the values of their current job offer another may ignore.
People get so much satisfaction from their work, it can be hard work when they begin to feel alive without them. However, if your energy level as high as possible, and always remain optimistic about your career, you find that you are looking for greener pastures may be right under your feet.
