Bryony
Bryony used the first edition of Dream Job in her recent job search and says,
“In summary, how the dream job course helped me, was to make me think hard about what I wanted and what was right for me. It prevented me from making the wrong decision. It made me list the things I wanted in a job. And I got them all! I could have taken the permanent job and never got this opportunity which would have been a great shame and sent my life in a different, less satisfyiing direction. And I would have repeated a pattern. Wow! I’m starting to feel like Bryony again after a few years so that can’t be bad, can it? It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this good.”

Hi Martin,
A true story to share: back in 2005 you’ve sent me the report about my personality and highlighta about my strongest points .
Believe it or not, based on your useful tips, I’ve sent my CV to a company. 2 or 3 days later I was called to make an interview and here I am for 3 year now. I love my job and my employers think the best of me! THANKS
Isabel, Thanks for sharing your story. It made our day. The whole team works really hard and it thrills us to hear your good news.
To Martin at PeopleMaps
The Present situation:
Is life worth living when all we see
Is pain despair and misery
Doesn’t one rather need to be
Something of a visionary
Looking to the future for some sign of hope
Instead of wishing to hang oneself with rope.
The next step and the “dream job”:
Get that dream job, which gives passion and desire
Forward will flow the need to reach higher
It will help set your heart and sole on fire
To challenge, guide, mentor and be a high flyer
Looking to the future the hope now shines with purity
The ropes and chains are now past, you have life security.
This answers the question -
“How different would your life be if you had complete job security and were working in a job you loved?”
How different? In some ways, entirely different: my husband could spend more time with our young son and, believe it or not, being more of a househusband. His ability to be tender, tidy, and domestic is so constrained by his consuming worry about being our main breadwinner.
If I had this dream job I would be using my senior-level attributes, and higher education, and empathy, working with a team of equals; we would have days with good communications and genuine “I’m Sorry, I Haven’t A Clue” humour whilst getting substantive and socially valuable work done. At the end of the day, and at the end of the project cycle, we’d be able to say “Yes, that was a good day’s work: we did what we said we would do and did it well. And some of it was great fun to do. What do we get to do next?”
My husband would be able to pick our son up after school at least one day a week: the thought of how happy our boy would be at this makes me cry. It seems so little to ask, written down like that!
As I found I`m a Scorpio person,I always think that whatever jobs are,they will meet with my dream so long as I can earn big monry from these.
But I find out I`s wrong,It`s the core personality drives you life.
My dream job would be one in which I had freedom and control of my life. I like to travel so my job would include this.
Every time I think of my job I should remember it with happiness and always strive with my whole soul to do my best by learning so that I can reach the top fast.
I should get satisfaction with what I do. I want always to look into the futer so that it would be brighter. My communications with my workmates are also important to me, this should be smooth. There should be little misunderstandings.
One day I would like to get big money because of my job. I want it to be that I can have my own mansion, several cars, and be able to live in luxery.
As I took my position that I love so much, I get no use to be constraining, never. I find the true pursue of my life. Now, I`m working like a perpetual motion machine. I can spend my vocation with my family and friends. There`s nothing else that can compare with this. If there will be someone offer big wage but not my dream position. What do you thing I would reply??
I will admonish him or her: I`m not the one you are looking for, maybe you are the candidate that just working for me.
Come on baby every day is Sunday.
I wouldn’t be forced into the most boring job by the usless managers who seem to be destroying the almost 200 year old public research institute I work for, I wouldn’t be worrying about keeping a roof over mine and the kids heads, I’d have balance and satifaction in knowing a job well done made a difference to the life of many who don’t even know I exist!
Describe how different your life would be if you were working in your dream job.
I’ve never really known what I really want to do. They saying “Jack of all trades, Master of none” has always been at the back of my mind when I contemplate my working life. At the ripe old age of 40, knowing that I have another 20 good years left to make my mark on the planet, makes me realise that it’s about time I really worked out what the hell it is that I really want to do instead of just coasting. So in response to your question, I think that my life would be different because I would have peace of mind, secure in the knowledge that I am doing what I am supposed to be doing, something that I actually good at. True job satisfaction is something that has always eluded me, so just being able to say that I have it will make a huge difference because being happy, secure, focused and satisfied with your work goes a long way to helping you remain happy, secure, focused and satisfied with your life and lets face it, anything that can ease the pressures of modern day living has got to be worth investing in, whether that investment be time or money or both.
A part of me has always known for a long time what sort of work I should be doing. There are times when I’ve been involved in the “right” sort of activities. However in my case the problem was that to some extent I drifted into these roles without understanding why they were suitable.
However sometime in the last few year I lost sight of what I should be doing and started trying to do work that did not suit me. The result is that the last 18months or so have been incredibly painful and difficult.
Looks like I missed I pressed submit too soon. Here is the complete text on my dream job
I think the most important thing about finding my dream job is that it means I will be happy to get out bed in the morning in anticipation of what the day will bring. One of the best things about securing my dream job is that I will be successful in the role, perhaps not by conventional standards, because I will be doing work that comes naturally.
I have managed to drift into roles that fit reasonably well and there have been times when I have really enjoyed my work. However because I have not taken the time to really understand what my dream job looks like I have not appreciated the good times and more recently have moved away from doing work that suits me. The last eighteen months or so have been incredibly difficult and painfully for me as I have been trying to work that does not really suit me without realising it. Fortunately someone was kind enough to help me understand what sort of person I am.
Since then I have steadily been building up a picture my dream job, drawing on those times when work has been going well. I’m currently trying to work out to turn this dream job into reality and I’m really looking forward to a time when I am doing my dream job. For me this means that it will be easy to do a good job because the work will fit with my strengths and skills. This does not necessarily mean that the work is easy, I like an intellectual challenge, but because I consider the work to be rewarding and challenging and I will have a strong motivation to do the work well. For me I believe that my dream job will be an ongoing series of challenges that I find rewarding to overcome. This means that I am determined to work towards finding my dream job because I’m looking forward to a time when I find my work truly satisfying

Having my dream job…..
would mean the final piece of the puzzle was in place and the picture would make complete sense at last.
How different my life would be if I found my dream job? Simple!
It would be the final piece in the puzzle, because I already have everything else I need to make my life complete. And being a dream job, it would allow me the freedom to…. dream – and then make some, hopefully all, of those dreams come to fruition. The only thing is, I’ve now all but given up on anyone else creating such a job for me, so I’m actively working on creating it for myself – and others, of course! Does that exempt me from entering this little contest? Well, I hope not, because if I’m going to be recruiting people for my own business, I think it’s probably just as necessary – if not more so – for me to know your little “secrets”, don’t you?
How different my life would be if I found my dream job?
I would be:
going back to my native country where my old parents are alone
not worrying about the monthly bills
taking my family to a favorite picnic spot
rebuilding our old family house which is a dream for a long time
having better things at home
arranging better medical services my parents
not saying “NO” to family needs as if they are false luxury
or not good
buying better dress for my wife and daughter
giving gifts to them on events
owning a car
not turning my face from the needy who look at my face for a help
helping at least those who helped me in needs
concentrating on my writing skills
spending time in motivating people / listening to peoples issues
calling and meeting my friends more frequently
spending some quality time with my friends and family
spending time for quality reading and music peacefully
having a better creative and peaceful mind
…… and a lot……. (or, will many of them remain just dreams…?!)
