Mario Mendes, 29
I’m doing something I really enjoy. I’m part of a team that develops new
technologies. I work with intelligent, interesting people and occasionally get to travel
abroad. I won’t pretend it was easy getting my dream job, but it was worth the effort.
My advice? Decide exactly what your dream job is and what it involves. Learn about
the job. Make contact with companies that could offer your chosen career. Make
sure they know your strengths. You may just get that dream job.
Andy Collins, 46
As a student, I earned $295 a week in cash working in a beach café. At the time, it
was my dream job! Later I became a chef. It was hard work, I was often in a hot
kitchen for twelve hours a day, six days a week. But you have to know the meaning
of hard work if you want to achieve your goals. I now own five restaurants around
the U.S. My best advice is to find out what your skills and talents are. Talent is
something you’re born with. Skills are something you’ve learned to do. People like
doing things that come naturally to them, so work and enjoy!
Sarah Cooper, 38
I’d been working as a secretary for three years when I decided to change my career.
My work was often boring and always busy. I started studying to become a teacher.
It certainly wasn’t easy; I continued working full-time to pay for my training at night
school. I was exhausted most of the time, but after two years, I finally got my
qualifications and resigned. I’m now a primary school teacher and it’s as good as I
imagined. So don’t wait! Write a list of the things that are stopping you from getting
your dream job. Make a plan to deal with each thing. There’s always an answer.
