Now that you have decided to take the next step on your career journey, you
might be asking yourself what your next step actually is.
 Identifying your ideal career is a process but sometimes your passion and
possible career path is right under your nose and you've simply
overlooked it.

prevented you from thinking creatively about it as a career possibility.

6. OPTIONS MIGHT BE RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE
Look back at your previous jobs, volunteer opportunities, freelance work or
other former work-related experiences. These are great options for career
possibilities. If you took the time to volunteer it is probably something
you really enjoyed doing.
 What have you done in the past that you've enjoyed?
 If you revisited it, could there be a career idea lurking?
Think about this and make a list so that you can see your options right in front
of
you.
