Whether you are just starting your career or have some years experience, you may be overwhelmed with the career options out there. Like most people having multiple interests, you may wonder how to choose the best career path for you.

Here are a few pointers that will help you traverse these paths.

When deciding between the different career options, consider where your passions lie. What work gives you the greatest joy? What is a job that when you do it, you love the work so much it doesn’t feel like a job?

Once you have identified several career paths that you love, do an online search for the statistics about job demand to know which of your career options have the greatest demand. The reason for checking demand is that it is more difficult to get a job in a market that is overly saturated where there isn’t much demand for workers.

Identifying demand + career passion helps you narrow down your career choices to a few possible options.

Once you’ve narrowed down your career options, ask yourself one of the most important questions in career: what role do you see yourself doing in 5, 10, and 20 years from now. Usually one can visualize their future dream. Do you see yourself doing one of the career paths you chose for yourself? Or advance into a bigger role? Or even progress into something entirely different? Is there a company you dream of working at? When you have these three pieces of information, you can identify what jobs you should take now and in the future and what other career moves you should plan, such as further education or certification, so that you may realize the career you love and the future you dream of.
