How can I get the help that I need in order to work for my goals to get the job/career that I want to do?

Hello Brenda, to work through your goals to get the job or career that you want to do. I would suggest to do some researching and jot down the list from your research then make some networking with others toward your path.

The help that you need is already within you. There is plenty of advice from others in what you should do and how you should live your life but in the end none of it is as meaningful as what you know about yourself and your capabilities and potential and weaknesses and limitations. The key is to be brutally honest with yourself and then acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses and use the former to their greatest advantage and shore up the latter. You will question and doubt yourself from time to time, and many will try to take advantage of your insecurity. Do not give in to those who would prey on your insecurities but recognize your value and use that to accomplish your goals.

Hey Brenda. My advice would be to read books around your goals, find mentors in your field, and be open to meeting new people through connections. The best way I have found in getting into the career I wanted was to always be willing to learn more and to go out of my comfort zone.

Hope this helps!

Hi Brenda: I will give you a few ideas about goals and careers: 1. You must work up a goal list before you do anything else, this is important for you to follow and will help you to separate the best goals from the list that you make. 2. This one is important and necessary for getting you on the right tract for your career, and if you can find a Career Center in your area like in a Junior College or College it is always informative to take an assessment to find out what careers you are interested in or best for you after answering the questions. 3. There is an assessment that I use called SDS (self directed search) It will help to get you thinking about your future and what you really want to do. Wherever you go to get the Interest and Personality assessment you will be able to talk with a (CAREER) Counselor that will help with making choices that are best for you. The Career Counselor specializes in Assessments, Career, Goals, and Interests which helps you to find the best career choice for you.

. 4.They are able to put your goals towards your chosen careers as stated on the assessment. Once you have a few careers in mind, you can make a plan that will integrate you choices of careers and also with your goals together. I would also research some of the choices that interest you and talk to those people who are actually working in those careers. 5. Research is important and there are many books that can help you with the careers that you are interested in.
