There really is no such thing as a dream job - the average American will change careers (not just jobs - but completely change their field) seven times.  You just have to find something that works for you.\n\nEither way you won't find what you like until you know what you don't like.  If you're younger, try to do some internships in areas you might be interested.  Sometimes the lifestyle or the skills that you really need are different than you think they will be.

Quit.  Yiu will find another job, but you need to understand that looking for the right job for you is a full time job in its self.  follow your passion and you will find that your next job may not be a job at all, but perhaps a lifetime fullment.

Your hopes & dreams don't always turn out the way you thought they would or that maybe you though it would be easyer than you antisapated. I had many hopes & dreams that never ended up the way I wanted, but I keep on doing it, like right now I'm building a set of kitchen cabinet, it's not my first but has been a burnibg passion all my life, will my dream of having a cabinet shop ever come true, I don't know but I will continue to do the things I love to do and I think you should to, don't give up take what the world is willing to give you and who knowe where that path will lwad. Good Luck!!!

I have been looking for sometime, now and I cannot seem to find anything legit.  It seems that you have to work for a place 1st and then negotiate working from home-which does not really help us now, does it?\n\n\nI totally wish you luck-like I said, I have been looking.  Did you try the craigslist.com for your area?? it didnt do me any good (at least not yet) but maybe you might find something!

You will get a job that really you like. The only thing you have to do is keep looking for the job you really like, and please don't give up unless you success.

well i agree with some of the answers - decide what motivates you. i am not talking about what you would like to do but think about what puts a smile on ur face or what would be your  dream job... then draw out a plan how u can go about doing it. \n\ni will give you my example. i struggled through university in a degree i didnt like for a profession that everyone respects but i couldnt give a toss about. so anyhow - i decided what really motivated me was money but a whole lot of corporateness - u know doing deals and stuff. so i looked at what jobs would fit that... and then decided to try the one that i thought was most exciting.\n\nu know what would 'motivate' you. go out there and find the job/career/industry that would give you those things.

When I was in the same situation, I had to sit down and think about the sort of job I'd like to have. I wrote down the various positions and industries that sounded interesting to me and then I looked for those specific companies and positions online. \n\nI went directly to their company websites as well as industry websites to find a job. I also called places that had things related to what I wanted to do.\n\n In time, I found exactly what I was looking for and now I have a fun job. Look beyond the job search sites and think about exactly what you want to do.

There is a great book that can help you find your calling in life. It is titled, "The Path" by Laurie Beth Jones. \n\nIt is amazing. It helped me find my direction in life. I have a second career because of her guidance. She helps you find that answer within yourself. You will learn what you were meant to do, what you were born to do. \n\nIt rings true.

the only way to figure this out is by figuring what YOU want to do in life. It's kind of hard to figure out aftre just finishing college, you have resposibilities now, rent, debts and so on. The key here is to find out what you really enjoy doing. that can come about from many different ways. If you're like me, I found out what I wanted to do in life by.....figuring out what I DIDN'T want to do. Had lots of crappy jobs that lead nowhere. took me awhile to figure out that I didn't know what I wanted and that's why i career hopped to various jobs. Look at what you find interest in, not what makes a lot of money or what your parents would like to see you do but what you find interests in. doesn't have to be in accounting either. I grad with a B.A. in English Writing and I'm now a loan officer. either look for what you want to do or just pick something quick and see if you like it.

Might want to start with what you don't like about the job?  Is it the people, profession, industry, job function, etc.?  And tackle problem from there.  \n\nThen find out what are other options.  Transfer to other dept? Other location?  \n\nIf nothing works, and you definitely want to get out of it, a good place to start would be figuring out what you LIKE to do that will also bring you income.  (Some community colleges offer classes in that perspective.)  Also talk to your friends to find out what your strengths are.  Hit the newspaper and see if anything interest you.  Start from there and see how it goes.  \n\nGood luck with job search.

Dont be! Me thinks that applies to everybody. Dont feel like that, im sure better things will come your way, im sure it eventually will!\n\nHow does one know where one wants to be in life?\nI cant quite get what you're trying to ask, but let me try :)\n\n--Well, sometimes you dont and stuff just happens untill you are where you are, and sometimes you have to plan things out to get to where you want to be.\n\nHmm...\nIf you really need to see what will come to you in the future, i guess you would have to have a goal or an aspiration... a dream! Lollers, and then take the necessary steps, or make the decisions that you might know will get you there... y'know :-)\n\nHonestly, i myself cant seem to place my self in this world, and even to know exactly what will become of me when i get older.\n\nI have tried to make plans, i have my dreams, but sometimes things just dont work out the way it should be.\n\naaaanyway.\nI suggest you don't let things happen - make things happen. youl know when your there after all those decisions and forks-in-the-road and shat.

What do you WANT to do?  Where do your passions lie?  Perhaps trying a similar job while pursuing night classes in a field that appeals to may be an option.  My soon to be father in-law started off working with the mentally challenged went on to teach computer classes at college, then he ran his own computer business and now he works for the department of education.  Its possible this change of scenery is for the best and you may find something with your experience that you are better suited for.\n\nAnd yes, I feel the same way (and ramble quite often)

find that job you will love!\nWhatever you believe will happen!\n\n\n\nTips for a job hunt. There is more hiring happening!\n\n� "Forget what's available out there" and go for the job you want the most.\n\n� Change the message on your answering machine: Put the kind of work you're looking for in your greeting. "Hi this is Heather. I'm busy right now looking for a job in the finance department at a startup company. I recently saw a candidate wearing a t-shirt with a brief summary of their skills. Now that is marketing yourself!\n\n� Write the phrase "Pay no attention to whether there is an opening (vacancy)" on a piece of paper, paste it on your bathroom mirror and memorize it and repeat it to yourself every morning. It will speed up your job search and you'll keep a positive outlook. Use the web and library (ask the reference librarian) to get ideas on companies you should target.\n\n� Concentrate the majority of your search on companies with fewer than 100 employees. Just because the larger firms are having layoffs doesn't mean the smaller companies aren't hiring. The recovery is already underway at smaller companies.\n\n� Get out of the house. Knock on doors. Do research online or at the library about the places you'd like to work. Then stop in and ask if they are hiring anyone with your skills. Your physical presence will make an impression on the hiring authority. Or tell them "I already e-mailed my resume and\nI would like to put a face with the resume I sent (have a hard copy in your hand). Tell the receptionist that you need her help. At one company where I worked an applicant showed up in a bunny suit, skip that bunny suit idea.\n\n� Be willing to look at different kinds of jobs: full-time, part-time, short term contracts, temporary jobs etc. Consider these jobs as a bridge.\n\n� Join a job seeking support group to get you going and to sustain your momentum. This is so crucial. You are not alone out there. Don't miss an opportunity to network. My hairstylist and Doctor have referred many great candidates to me. I heard about someone who told their Doctor they needed work, they had a job the next day. Join your alumni! Network at your church. Keep seeking new ways to market yourself.\n\n� Make a simple business card with the job you are looking for along with your contact info and e-mail address. The office supply stores sell the business cards stock so you can print them at home and save a bundle. I added a postage stamp sized photo to my business card. I saw a minature resume on one side of biz card.\n\n� Don't be wearied by rejection. The more noes you get out of the way, the closer you are to a yes.\n\n� Dont' just e-mail your resume. Try Faxing and snail ( U.S.) mailing your resume & cover letter. Companies are overwhelmed by e-mailed resumes. I know someone who got an interview and job at Kaiser by faxing her resume, her e-mailed resume didn't get noticed because of the volume of resumes they receive. If a company requests no faxed resumes honor their request and snail ( U.S.) mail it instead. If you know an employee at the company ask them to submit your resume. Your chances for an interview go up dramatically by using these techniques. After you submitted your resume call and follow up.\n\n� Your resume needs to be a marketing brochure on you. List your accomplishments and the results. A great resume is just the ticket to the interview, a mediocre resume is ignored. Check out the resume tips link listed below.\n\n� Got goals? Write down a list of ten realistic and specific goals. Create them as if you already achieved them. For example "I earn $75,000 a year" or "I am the Manager of Product Development". Then list everything you can do to achieve each goal, act on specific item now. Goals give you a tremendous sense of control, a real sense of power. Don't share your goals with anyone.\n\n�

I was in a dead-end career. I hunted for months, took a temp job doing something I'd always wanted to do, then found a full-time position. 10 years later, I'm at a senior level position and love my new career. Having the courage to try something new is important, even if it might not be the "exact" fit. Try, try.
