If you are worried that the career you are searching may not be right for you, or if you are not completely sure what job you are seeking, you have a greater problem than just writing a great resume. You are handing over your future to chance and accident.
How you can I show if it is right for me? If you are changing to a job that is pretty much the same as your current or latest job, it is not too difficult to assess whether or not you need to just make a job change or consider a new career route. The big question is: how much do or did you enjoy the actual work? If you liked the work itself but were not satisfied with the boss or the pay or other components of the job, you may just need to find a new job - a job where you can keep doing the same thing in a different setting. If the work itself was lifeless, routine, uninteresting, tough, frustrating, or if you did not feel fully challanged by it, you may need to make a change in your career direction.
If you are seeking a job that is somewhat different from what you did before, how can you realize it will be better than what you have been doing?
Let's discuss your needs from a new way of thinking. What an employer pays you for is to perform some specific operation or operations. Everything one might do at work, from flipping burgers to understanding the most obscure abstract data, is a certain work function. Most careers involve combining a few different functions together. Everyone is born with a specific degree of ability for each of the hundreds of possible work functions. Think about it for a minute. Notice that there are some things that seem to come easily to you and others that are much more complicated to deal with. Your innate talent for any specific function may be a period ranging from 100% to 1% on a scale of human skills.
Almost every person is naturally gifted at some things, adequate at others, and not so good at yet other functions. Your natural skills work together, like tools in a band, to make your work harmonious and pleasurable. Those people who are very successful, who really like their job and have no trouble writing a powerful and sincere resume, are people who have discovered what they are naturally best at found a way to combine their talents and personality traits in a job that fits them like a custom-made suit.
It is as simple as that. If you uncover your natural talents and pick a job that combines them well, you will greatly increase the odds that you will wind up both very satisfied and very successful in your work. Then you can easily write a resume that honestly communicates that you are the best choice for the job-because you know you are.
