Job Interviews carry high stakes and can be extremely stressful given the high stakes that they
carry. Interviewers can be moody but overall, interviews follow a definite structure. After
personally conducting countless interviews and reviewing 1000s of resumes I have squeezed all
the tricks into the easy to follow www.jobxray.com
Here is one popular article from my blog -
Do You Know What Your Dream Job Is?
Stuck in a job that you don’t like? Hate your boss? Hate your salary?
Have a passion that you want to follow but don’t find the time?
Millions of people around the world are chained down into jobs they don’t like. Have you ever
wondered why ‘Get Rich’ books sell by the millions every year and are only competed by weight
loss books in overall sales!
This highlights only one fact – employees, in general are not in their preferred line of work.
Work schedules run into about 8-9 hours per day, give about 1-2 hours of total commute, and
that becomes about 10 hours a day, five days a week (at the minimum). Can you think of any
other activity that you spend so much time on – sleeping maybe…

Here are some tips that will guide you during your quest:
Ask the tough questions:
You are going to work the job, you are the one that needs to be happy with it, so You are the
one that should know what you want from the job.
a. Do a good self evaluation of your likes and dislikes; what is it that you would do even if
the money was not good – your true passion.
b. This will also answer the question of how important money is to you.
c. There is nothing wrong in working for money – some of my friends don’t care much what
they are doing (within reason) as long as they are making good money. Nothing wrong
with it, they are happy troopers.
d. Research what’s out there. Today there is a specialization and super specialization in
every field and you can find opportunities in the tiniest of niches that excite you. The
internet is a fantastic source of information.
e. Talk to folks who are in the field to get their perspective. Even after all the individual
research, you may still benefit a lot from personal experiences of a person who has
walked in the shoes you want.
Fresher – no problem:
Every one is a fresher at least once in their life. And even if you are switching careers to start
afresh, the thought of doing something you like should motivate you more than the worry of
working with others younger than you.
a. Learn – Passion is a must have, but just wanting something doesn’t mean you are
prepared for it as well. And if you aren’t prepared, chances are that you may fail which
will kill the excitement. Identify the skills required by your ideal job and work towards
acquiring them. Courses, reading material, research will all help you.
b. Leverage – If you have experience but in a different line of work, leverage those qualities
that would prove beneficial. For example, people management, negotiation skills,
analytical skills would be used by many professions and if you don’t have domain
knowledge, these soft skills should be highlighted.
Now Now Now:
This is the best time to start the assessment. If you are not happy then do something about it
now; and if you are getting what you want, it’s about time you identify it and – become happy!
a. 20s and 30s is a great time to take on risks and try out things that may not always work.
The recovery is quicker so the heart is stronger. This is when most people can try out
new careers and venture out bravely.

b. Responsibilities increase with time. Marriage, children, financial burdens can all anchor
you to a job that you may not love. Start assessing yourself and get into your ideal job
before you face life’s imminent restrictions.
c. If you haven’t invested a lot of time in your present career it may be easier to say
goodbye.
d. All said and done, if you have the desire to do something else, it’s never too late. You
deserve to be happy and no matter when you realize, get up and start working towards it.
Test the shallows first:
It is very easy to be swept off your feet with the prospect of a great job out there. But remember,
grass is always greener on the other end and may not always be in reach.
a. Gradually and steadily ease into your new job. Make sure you have the required skills
and education before making the move.
b. If possible, start off part-time. A regular paycheck is a valuable thing and if you can, don’t
give that up with your present job until you see stability in your ideal occupation.
c. Risk and return go hand in hand – higher the one, higher the other. Having said that
caution is also advised. There are several Ivy League dropouts that have made history,
but there are also several others that have done achieved what they set out to. The idea
is to maximize return with minimum risk.
Keep it real:
Every job, every task has its prospects and consequences, even if you are in your ideal job; you
may have to face challenges. In fact it is believed (and I agree) that challenges are a must for
growth.
a. Expectations should be based on facts not dreams. If your dream is to get into
pharmaceutical research and find a cure for a disease, you should keep in mind that the
success rate is about 0.01%. What should excite you is the process, not only the goal.
b. Celebrate small accomplishments. Every step that you take towards your ideal goal
should make you happier than what you currently are. Experience that and keep
reminding yourself of that when the going gets rough.
So in a nutshell, if you’re not happy doing what you are doing, it’s in Your hands to make that
change. But make an educated change and remember that Rome was not built in a day – the
best grapes are always harder to reach. But once you reach them, there’s nothing else sweeter.
