One of the most daunting things you\u2019ll ever do is decide on a first career step or, indeed, a career change! What job is going to both give you satisfaction, and pay enough to fulfil your future needs and goals?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s important to find the balance between money and happiness, with more and more studies showing higher levels of life satisfaction associated with someone enjoying their job rather than someone getting paid the most.<\/p>\n
So, how do you choose? Start by thinking about yourself.<\/p>\n
Here, we\u2019ll go through a number of different personality types that you may be able to relate to, and that may help guide you in knowing what is most likely to satisfy you long term.<\/p>\n
If organisation is where you get your kicks, then you need a job that optimises this skill. A number of roles do this, from\u00a0administration jobs in Brighton<\/a>\u00a0to PA work, through to project management for construction companies or librarian work.<\/p>\n This is a skill that is helpful for a wide raft of positions, but some jobs demand it more than others.<\/p>\n It\u2019s important that you find a role that will utilise this passion over something that relies on constant change and unpredictability because you\u2019ll find yourself drowning in those. Try searching for \u2018excellent organisation\u2019 as a keyword in our\u00a0jobs in Brighton<\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p>\n We all like to do good in the world, but you\u2019re someone that needs to see the positive results of the work they do. If you like caring for others, seeing people achieve their best, than a job that creates change is the career for you.<\/p>\n This could be as a doctor or counsellor, or something a bit more left field like old aged care. There are also plenty of charities that work both domestically and internationally that are in dire need of talented staff.<\/p>\n On top of this, you could look into teaching, where you can have a very real and tangible impact on the next generation!

If you\u2019re someone who sees things in a clearer light than others, than put your logic to use in a role that is defined by it.<\/p>\n Fields like science, research, forensics and architecture all demand high levels of proficiency in logical thinking, and put this to use through both on the job work and detailed qualifications. If your logic is particularly maths-focussed, you can look at the banking and accountancy sectors.<\/p>\n More tech-oriented? Coding and\u00a0IT<\/a>\u00a0is probably for you. Logic is in short supply, but jobs centred on it aren\u2019t. Try searching \u2018logical\u2019 on our\u00a0Brighton job search<\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p>\n But if you\u2019re not the logical type (or you are, but it\u2019s not your thing) and you get excited by creativity, outside the box thinking, and putting all this to use to create products and art and outcomes that amaze, then there are certain directions you can take to follow this vibe.<\/p>\n A lot of people now are probably thinking artist of photographer, and sure \u2013 you can go that route \u2013 but don\u2019t forget about the equally creative, but perhaps more job-focussed, careers like website design, content production, interior design, graphic design, marketing and digital jobs.<\/p>\n These industries are exploding as AI takes over some of the more data- and logic-based roles we used to do. Try searching \u2018marketing jobs in Brighton<\/a>\u2018 on our job ads page.<\/p>\n Hello, tradies! Yep, if you\u2019re practical, enjoy hands-on work, and the thought of building something to be proud of appeals to you, then consider learning a trade.<\/p>\n What\u2019s great is that a lot of these are on-the-job training careers, meaning there\u2019s likely a job already waiting when you finish your qualifications. Try searching \u2018apprenticeships\u2019 on our\u00a0job page<\/a>.<\/p>\n And last but not least, we have the social butterflies. If you\u2019re the person that constantly needs to be around friends, loves meeting people, perhaps\u00a0enjoys travel<\/a>\u00a0and getting out and about, then there are even careers tailor made for you.<\/p>\n Some obvious ones are jobs in retail<\/a>\u00a0and sales, but there are equally fulfilling roles to be found in recruitment, marketing and customer service based-roles. Even telemarketing can be enjoyable if you\u2019re a people person! Try searching \u2018customer services<\/a>\u2019 on our jobs page.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t think you fit any of these types?
