New graduates entering the job market will benefit the most if they see their job as just the beginning of a broader plan for self-growth. "CAREERS – A Brainwise Guide to Finding Fulfillment at Work," a recent e-book from the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry, shows that the best way to build a career for both success and long term emotional and psychological health involves essential behaviors your brain is already wired to do.
The 2012 survey by The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) showed that students considering a job offer primarily want the opportunity for personal growth. "CAREERS" offers practical advice toward that end by presenting case examples that highlight the seven core behaviors common to personal fulfillment: Change, Appreciate, Risk, Explore, Endure, Reflect and Sacrifice.
The key to personal growth is finding the right balance of these behaviors for each person. For example, identifying the appropriate level of risk to reach fulfillment in life requires an intrinsically individualized process. Each person's capacity to handle uncertainty varies, but a refined understanding of one's own risk tolerance enhances career decision making. The authors' framework helps new graduates (or anyone feeling stagnated in career development) see and navigate the many possible paths to their ideal work-life integration.
"CAREERS – A Brainwise Guide to Finding Fulfillment at Work" is currently available for 99 cents at all major outlets for e-books.
