Which careers would be a good fit for someone analytical, problem-solving, people-oriented & creative ?
Hi all,
I'm no longer a student; I've studied veterinary medicine, an additional Master's in Business Management, and subsequently have gained work experience in pharmaceutical research (consisted a lot of project coordination & management).
I've never really known what a good career would be for me and I'm not so sure anymore about the research industry, a.o. due to required niche expertises (which I don't have), and due to having to focus on such specific and narrow things.
Over the years I managed to pinpoint what I like in a job a bit more. These are mainly:
- Analytical thinking, solving problems or improving situations. (People haven't always appreciated me challenging situations or trying to think of better ways to do something, since that was never my responsibility).
- Working with people & different backgrounds; maintaining close contact, frequently checking in, exchanging feedback & experiences, supporting people or helping them to improve situations. A job without this personal aspect drains me.
- Strategic thinking and seeing the bigger picture. I get bored quickly and don't really get motivated from having to focus on details, detailed processes, etc. I get a lot of energy from being able to think about the bigger picture, about strategy, about how to come up with new concepts/processes or improvements to existing ones.
- I like learning about new things, regardless of what it is. I'm someone who digs deep in new information and really wants to understand how something works. On the flipside, I get bored quickly once I've figured something out, so e.g. repeating the same project or process drains me.
- Serving as a supportive lead/spokesperson for teams or colleagues' needs or issues. I'm not afraid to challenge systems or processes when I think it can benefit others to change them.
- Figuring out dynamics between people in a work setting; how someone is affecting others or affecting processes, how to motivate people, how to help others be more satisfied and content in their work.
It's maybe a lot of information I've given, but my question is; are there careers you think of that fit with these interests? Either related to my background or totally disregarding it.
Thank you very much in advance!
