The possibility exists that one of the stereotypes about Gen Y professionals – the one where we want to start our careers at our dream job rather than working our way up to it – may be true… at least a little.
When searching for our first few jobs out of college, including that seemingly elusive first position, maybe we should focus more on issues such as potential for growth, flexibility, style of management and the work environment? Instead of chasing after our version of that dream job our entire careers, maybe we should focus more on finding a role where we consistently contribute, earn a good living and gain valuable experience? Maybe all of those combined experiences… will eventually lead us to where we want to be?
To help us think more about getting started in that direction, take a look at this simple infographic from JobCluster.com. The thought process here just might help you find the right position for right now… versus a dream job someday.
