How to Find the Best Job for My Personality
Think about the job you have now and ask yourself whether you see yourself working in that same job, or even in that same field, for the next ten or fifteen years. If your answer is yes, then likely you have found a job that makes you happy and it is probably suited to your personality. If you answered no, then you have some soul searching to do. Try to find a job that best suits your personality; you will be happy in that job and your quality of life will improve. To find the best job for your personality, use a resource such as a personality test that matches your personality to various jobs.
