Our jobs. They take up such a huge amount of our time. On top of that they then seep into our personal lives, take up ample mental space and make us feel on top of the world on a good day and at the bottom of the barrel on a bad day.

We are at their mercy.

It’s tricky to find the right job. With so many things to consider it’s a wonder we end up making a decision at all. Pay, work life balance, travel, benefits, hours. There is a lot to consider. On top of that we ask ourselves questions like:

“Is this really me?”

We toy with business ventures, switching careers and becoming stay-at-home dog mums, all in the hope of finding that horribly overwhelming word.

Fulfilment.

One thing we probably always want to be mindful of, whether we’re planning on becoming a dog mum or not, is enhancing our career prospects. Not because we want to climb the ladder, we may no want to but to be able to keep learning and building.

So that if the dream job does come up, we feel confident we have all the skills necessary. You might even create your dream job along the way.

1. Start a Side Hustle
