Well, I found out that I was a very creative person, and that I love working with websites. I am taking an online class right now to brush up on my skills, and then I am going to market myself to create websites for other people/small businesses. It is a work in progress, but at least now I have direction.

What was it that you found out about yourself? Those “inner talents?” And more importantly, what are you going to do about it? :)

Thanks for the great post. I think a lot of people struggle to find their dream jobs- I know I spent most of my life struggling to find the answer to this. I have finally figured out what it is in life I am good at- thanks to Scott Edmund Miller’s latest book, “The User’s Guide to Being Human: The Art and Science of Self.” Now that I know what my inner talents are, I know what it is I want to do in life- what my dream job is. Thanks for the great tips. Very useful!

I will agree with that, as long as it’s done in an appropriate fashion. A lot of people are cynical and shooting down things left and right, BUT they never come up with any solutions or add anything positive to the mix. If you can find issues and then fix them (or even make them better) then more power to you! We def. need more of those types of people at a company :)

Why do I always see posts against skeptics and cynics?

I absolutely think they are essential to any organization. In fact, they are the promoters of change. Sure, they’re annoying to be with as your ego might be crushed around them. But some “negative” people are really necessary. If you’re a skeptic, just make sure you are smart and you’re making constructive criticisms.

Thanks again Corey! Always a pleasure, my friend.

@Christa – That’s pretty much how I was able to start blogging full-time too – hustling on the side!
@Jacob @ iHeartBudgets – “would I hire me for this position?” YES!!! Exactly!!
@Jessica O. and Mike Collins – Yeah! Facebook/Twitter can def. hurt you at times.
@Financial Uproar – Awesome! It’s the first book I ever got with “J. Money” scribbled into it ;) I remember thinking how awesome that was! haha…

I liked A Million Bucks By 30. In fact, I think I still have my copy.

I’m assuming if you are trying to land your dream job, you already know what your dream job is, but I’d suggest spending time making a list of things you want in a dream job. Salary, work/balance, chance to grow, passionate industry, etc. before applying all over the place.

I don’t agree with that – but my FB is always private anyway in case this happens – I’d be screwed if my employer looked at it.
