4 types of jobs you should be seeking

While looking for a job, you should be strategic. A creative job search requires that you know which type of jobs is suitable for your career growth or personal development. Before you accept any job offer, you should give it a lot of thought so that you know what you are getting yourself into.

1. Jobs that will expose you to skills acquisition

In this job, you can leverage the tools and opportunities in the company to acquire a skill. It may be a skill that you consider necessary for your future career, or a skill you want to hone. This type of job is what every young professional just starting out must consider taking.

2. Jobs that just get you busy

It is true that the essence of getting a job is to be able to pay one’s bill. However, this job may not pay all your bills. It can only get you out of your house and probably away from worry or depression. You know the popular saying: an idle mind is the devil’s playground. This means that people who have nothing worthwhile to think about will usually think of something bad to do.

My best career advice:

At every job you should either learn or earn. Either is fine. Both is best. But if it's neither, quit.
