Why do you love your career?

Hi there,
You will be very lucky if you come to find a job that truely interests you. Try not to focus on the financial side of the career but on what you really want to do and what you like to be.
just doing that and you will get on the right career path.
I do like my current job because I have the opportunity to interact with people from different backgrounds on a daily basis. I love also the stressful and challinging part of it.
From the beginning, I was targetting a multinational work enviroment in order to find all these criteria. Your degree can also help you get to where you wanna go, so start by considering an education path that will lead to where you wanna go. I studied in a multicultural enviroment as well and I loved that and wanted to have that in my career as well..
You need to know yourself well enough so that you can figure out things that you can excell at in your job/career path and this will be enough to give you motivation !
Good luck :)

I work for a technology company and I love it! I love interacting with the people in and out of the company and I love technology! The peers I work with are hard working and dedicated people that pushes and inspire me to do better everyday. I also love to coach, teach, and share new ideas and concepts to the people I support. There's a sense of fulfillment there. But don't get me wrong, there are days that are so challenging that I just want to go hide under my blanket and wait til the day is over. But I bounce back and do better the next day. I love to learn new technology and I am proud to be a part of this company. The technology this company produced has transformed lives and that's powerful!! Can't wait to see what the future holds!

Hi! I heard a saying once, “Do something you love and you will never work a day in your life.”

I have been at my current job for almost 15 years. I love what I do, because I know I can make a difference. Sometimes I’m connecting customers to those they love, and sometimes I help their business run more smoothly. At my job I wear many hats. I may be a coach , a counselor, a support network, a friend, a confidant, and so many more things. To my company I’m a change agent, an innovator, a leader of people. To know that every single day, no matter what my job entails for that particular day I can make a difference is more gratifying than I can say. Throw a paycheck and great benefits in and it’s a dream come true.

Hello Eileen, I love my job and the two things that motivates me in my role are the ability to engage with people around the world and the empowerment and trust that my leaders are giving me. The key step that helped me to enjoy this role is by discovering myself. Meaning you need to know yourself well enough. For example, when will you be at your best? when will you be at your worst? what are the top 3 things that inspired you? who are the people in your life that you admire and what are the attributes that you admire about them? You might not be able to find all of the answers immediately but start by small steps of observing yourself and remind yourself with these questions for at least the next 3 months or longer period. You will realize that your answer might evolve and you might be able to see it clearer as time goes by. By knowing yourself well enough, you will be able to find things that you can do in your job/career path which motivates you.

Best of Luck!

Hi Eileen

I have always said yes to new challenges even being worried if I will manage. This have given me opportunities to grow and learn which is something that drives me and makes me enjoy my career. Someone told me long time ago in a situation where I gave up, that nothing is impossible and encouraged me to keep going. For me being in sales I get to compete every day and some days I win others I loose, you just need to save the good moments and try to replicate, give you self more of them. I have never been very good at long strategic career plans I try to have as much fun I can where I am today. I believe that shows and attracts new opportunities.

Good Luck

Hi Eileen,
The answer is simple. Our interests motivate us to the current career field. For example, I love computer science and all techniques about it. So I programming a lot in my college. Then it's very easy for me to get some top jobs since I love it and I participate lots of in it.
Therefore, do not consider the career, consider what you really love to do, and what you are good at. Just doing that and you will get on the right career path.

Hi Eileen! I have worked for a wireless technology company for the last 18 years. I started this job not knowing I would learn so much in the company and stay in this field. I love it because it challenges me, it allows me to do different roles throughout the company, and mostly because I get to help people realize success in their career and make their lives better.
