This may seem like an odd question, but if you ask me then there are two kinds of people. There are people who know what they want and there are people who don't know what they want.

You know them, the people who want to become a brain surgeon or army officer or run their own business. They know what they want and they know what it takes to get there.

Since you put out this request, I assume that you're more like me. I'm 43 now and I still don't know what I want to be some day. So until I do know, I look for jobs that suit me best.

In order to find a job or career that suits you, you need to know where your strengths and weaknesses are. Many of us figure that out along the way, but fortunately there are ways to speed up that process. You could consider taking a test, doing an assessment. There are a number of methods (REED, MBTI, etc.) to assess one's personality and I'd recommend investing some time in discovering yourself.

Once you know where your strengths are you can look for a role that will enable you to grow.

And then the last thing (for now) to do is think about what kind of employer to look at? Do you want to be in a commercial enterprise or do you feel attracted more to the non-profit sector? Do you prefer a large company with lots of opportunities for development or do you feel more comfortable in a small organisation where everyone knows one another? Is there a specific line of business that you'd like to work in, or more than one? It's all a matter of personal preference and interest.

Finding the right career is about knowing yourself, your preferences and your competencies.

Good luck!
