  • What does success mean to you?

To answer this question parents, society, friends, and relatives play a crucial role as they define success as per their experiences. High pay-scale, lavish lifestyle, trips to foreign countries, beautiful wife, etc. are dreams of every second student. However, for others happiness lies in the work they do, the satisfaction they get after every job shift. It totally depends on what you think and what you want. Once you get to know the answer you will be ready to choose which career is suitable for you and your needs according to your future perspective. 

  • Self-reflection to your career goals?

Just like you look in a mirror and get your real reflection, you must also take a reflection test by asking yourself what actually you want from your career, which activities you can do with interest throughout your life, what are your strengths and what are you weak at? Once you get answers to these questions, you will surely be able to research which career will take you to your goals.

  • Choose a career that makes you happy:

Instead of focusing to earn survival needs, you must also focus on what lifestyle will make you happy. Every time it’s not about only money, comfortability, or essential needs. How happily you spend each day in a single job also matters. If you know you are not a person to sit at one place for continuous 9 hours but you choose the path just because you are getting a handsome amount of money will never give you happiness. Instead, choose what you are suitable for and what you want. Money is in every job, but happiness is only there where your emotional and mental levels are at the same balance. So think about what you can do daily without any stress or pressure. 

  • Futuristic plans: 

Ask yourself a simple question: If you enter a certain career what you would be expecting after 5 years and would you get that in this job? If your answer is yes then you are on the right path of choosing a career for you and if the answer is no, you need to research more. This question is quite important as, without appreciation, love, and respect, no human being can succeed in their career. 

You must sit and visualize your thoughts from your coming life and then you will surely get to know what actual career you are looking for. Once you are fixed to the career, you can begin with the preparation for the same as to get finger-licking success you need to work hard for years. 

Government jobs over private jobs

As most of the students these days are looking for government jobs instead of private jobs due to the instability/insecurity, least job satisfaction, over workload, lots of stress in the private companies. Though getting a seat in the government is not that easy these days due to increased competition and limited job opportunities. Various government sectors are going to offer jobs this year including Bank PO, bank clerks, office assistants, railways, UPSC, SSC CGL, and many more. Choose your field as per your interest and potential and start preparing for the exam.
