Ever wonder if you are in the right career?

Blog Post written by Brook Hamrick, Business Development Manager for Imprimis (bhamrick@imprimis.com)

Are you doing what truly fits your unique personality and strengths?

If you dislike what you are doing, it might be because you are not doing what truly fits and compliments your natural skills.  I, like some of you , graduated from college not knowing really what “I” was about.  So I took a job at a financial services firm and began studying for the Series 7  and Series 63 so I could become a Stock Broker.  Well, needless to say , I was miserable.   Fortunately, I had the opportunity to work in the recruiting department where I discovered a natural talent for sales, recruiting and intuitively understanding people. We all eventually learn more about ourselves as the years pass, but the sooner you know the quicker you can target your energy in the area where your natural abilities apply. If you have heard of the Meyers-Briggs Type indicator and have had the opportunity to take the questionnaire and see what your unique type is out of 16 different profiles, then awesome.  If not, go and take it. (click here) It is free and takes about 10 minutes.  Once you get your results , which will consist of 4 letters (Example. ENTJ, INFP, ESFJ and so on ), Google your type and see all sorts of information regarding types of careers for which you are suited.

The past 13 years I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to utilize those talents in the Recruiting/Staffing Industry and am blessed to work for Imprimis where our Clients and Candidates always come first.  May you find this questionnaire as insightful as I did and have a fabulous February!
