WHAT ARE YOU WAITING TO FIND YOUR WAY?

The decision to choose an ideal job is a question that has been spinning in our heads since we were children, accompanied with questions about what would you like to be when you grow up? These questions constantly influence us even when we have already chosen what to study. 

Knowing how to choose a profession not only influences the preferences of each one, but also is based on our own personality. In this way, it can be said that the relationship between work and personality is very close.

So, below we help you discover which career to choose in order to carry out your ideal job according to your personality:

⇒Now, an infographic that sums up a little bit what you've seen so far!😸

I didn't find another more complete infographic. This is from another blog (You can check it there https://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/06/the-3-best-jobs-for-you-based-on-your-myers-brigg-personality-type.html)

↑↑The infographic is not in the best quality because "Blogger" does not allow it!

But you can see the original and clearer image in the link that I left before the images.

Next, I am going to write something more “particular”, to expose my personality type, and to which career or job I would adapt more according to it.

 So, After reading many personality types, I think I am an ESTP, because I am usually outgoing, sensitive and perceptive. I’m “risky” Because I jump before looking, fixing my mistakes as I go, I don't stay idle or prepare contingency plans.

According to the above, I could dedicate myself to acting, because I am nice, affectionate and I manifest my thoughts and feelings. (Typical of an ESTP) But I don't like this career.

So, another good option for me is Flight Attendant, because I understand the facts of the present, and often I am able to quickly see the exit of difficult situations.
This one catches my attention, because I really like planes and I like to travel to different places. Also, I have a basic profile of a flight attendant:

"Although ESTPs may have trouble imagining abstract ideas, they are flexible in their approach: if something sounds logical, they are generally willing to try it." And so I am, literally. I dare to check everything, if that sounds rational.

By doing this blog, I knew that I really am an ESTP, I am guided by feelings and emotions, by logical processes and reasoning, together with the need for freedom. I would definitely love to be a flight attendant, in fact, I once wanted to study for it.

If you think you are also an ESTP, here is a link for you to read more about this personality type: https://www.personalityperfect.com/estp-the-doer-personality-profile/
