How to get on the career ladder and find the job of your dreams with Christine Skarr

On the latest episode on our podcast, the Stylish Study show we spoke to the wonderful Christine, an interior designer and an architect who shared her tips to help get you a step closer to your dream career.

In order to step into your dream career, you must first decide what that dream career is. You need to look inwardly at what you enjoy and what you’re good at. Be honest with what you are good at and what you find challenging. What you find challenging shouldn’t hold you back but it should be considered when you are deciding on your dream career.

Another important thing to distinguish is the difference between a role and a job, a job is a title that can be anything. Within a job there are so many different role, for example you can be a doctor and do ten different roles.

But if you are struggling to choose what you want to do, just don’t be overwhelmed by it, especially if you are young you have a lot of time of decide. If you just do what you enjoy, you will not only be happier but you will also be able to discover what works for you. You can always change what you do and there’s no wrong answer.

You may be able to monetise your passion, nowadays you can make money from so many different ways and you are bound to find a role you enjoy that you can monetise. However, its important that you don’t just prioritise money, make sure you genuinely enjoy what you are doing as well.

Disregard what others think, go with what you love and you find your path. If you concern yourself with what others think then you will forget the opinion that truly matters yours.

Don’t be pressured, give yourself a bit of space and remember that you are young, you don’t have to have everything figured out right away. This is such a tiny section of your life that it doesn’t matter if you make the wrong decisions, you still have so much time to figure out what you want.

You also have to create your own opportunities, if you really want to make something of your life and you have to make those opportunities yourself. There are so many opportunities out there, sometimes you have to ask and seek out what you want yourself.

As a young person, you might find that you are younger than the person you’re speaking to, but your time is also valuable. Don’t allow yourself to be treated badly just because you are younger.
