Do you know what your ideal or dream job is?

60% of jobseekers know what their ideal or dream job is or will be, according to a recent survey conducted by TipTopJob. Do you find this a surprisingly high figure given that so many people, even at 40 years old, turn around and say íI still donít know what I want to do when I am olderí?

Finding a dream job for life is a rarity and this is proven given the number of people that are discontent with their current job and the high number of active jobseekers. This 60% figure consists of those who know what their dream job is AND those who know what it will be ñ so the question is, even if people know what their dream job will be, have they acted on their dreams and are they actually working in that role? So many people fall into a job without even thinking if it really the type of job they want to do!

For the remaining 40% of those who do not know what their dream job is, it would be logical to think that they will always be on the look out for a new job. This is where job boards become very useful. The great thing about job boards is that you can keep your details online, your skills and job preferences along with your updated CV so head-hunters can find and approach you! To help jobseekers, job boards allow the very intelligent and efficient íjob alertsí. Setting email alerts means you receive notification when jobs that match your job search criteria get registered onto the site. This saves you time having to check and re-check different websites and you can sit back and let jobs come straight to your inbox. Without permanently having to keep searching for a job, you are able to keep in mind the job dream you have been looking for and set these job alerts on job boards so that if your dream job is registered onto the site - you will immediately know about it.

They say the ígrass is always greenerí and this applies to your career as well as everything else in life. In an employment sense this explains the fact that people are never 100% happy in their working environment and will always keep their eyes open for a potentially better job. But is the grass always greener? If you are happy with your job, that is the most important aspect - and a known fact is that if you enjoy what you are doing, you will in fact never have to work another day in your life!
