How did you get your dream job?

You create yours.

I landed my dream job without realizing it, and *poof* it dissappeared as mysteriously as they came After trying to get into a role that I wasn't good at, I got a job at a company, thinking that I just need to get through this career and save for retirement. 2 years in, I realize that the people really understand me, and I had a role that I was literally born to do. I'm not a Steve Jobs or a Mark Zuckerburg, but I've always been extremely strong at certain things, and this job was a really good match for my strengths, and it felt like I could move mountains But the thing is, eventually, after you finish moving the mountain, you look for an lake to drink from, or at the very least give me another mountain to move. But there's no lake and the mountain is moved, and then you have to find a new mountain to move. Even dream jobs come to an end. Things finish. Things finish faster because you were really good at it It's fine. I still have the dream. I'm back to looking froward to retirement. If something exciting lands in my lap, it lands in my lap.

Genuinely believe that everything in this world is possible. Figure out WHO you really are and WHAT you really want in your life Get rid of all the inner and outer chatter that leads you to doing what others want you to do Stop trying to "fit in", because this will never make you a happier or a more loved person Learn to love yourself Stop pleasing others Once you got these things right, you will have enough clarity and drive to have the job of your dreams and the life of your dreams.

My theory is most people rarely have the luck or circumstances to create enough time to sufficiently land their dream job. I know people say they're "always looking" these days. But it's very hard to be scouring job boards and networking and applying for jobs *while* you're employed. And if you happen to get laid off or find yourself without a job, chances are you're in a bit of a rush to land your next gig that you can't afford to take all the steps needed to really find and secure that dream job. The timing game wins. People settle because they need a job quick or they give up or they run out of energy chasing things down. For the lucky ones who happen to have a friend who works in their industry of choice who happens to need someone to fill a job that happens to be their dream job, they make it look easy. But you can't make that happen. I was extremely fortunate Jay Adelson was my freshman year roommate at Boston University and that 14 years after we graduated he needed a CTO for Digg when I happened to be open to a new job. But today, I'm working on a startup that aims to create just such an opportunity to create enough time to sufficiently help people land their dream job. And the key is a very intelligent passive job search engine. If you tell my service enough about your skills, your background, companies that have your dream job and specifically what you want to do - we'll continuously search for you while you keep working your current job. And we keep your information completely private until there's an opportunity where there's mutual interest, then we make an introduction. I'd love to help you find your dream job. It's still in private beta, so you need to be a little adventurous and be willing to give me some feedback along the way. Either way - I hope more people can find their way to a job that really fulfills them. Good luck!

Most have a clear ambition in their lives to begin with while for others they figure it out along the way. A job should and must help in getting closer to your career goals.

Did not having a degree make Steve Jobs unemployable? Maybe, so he started his own. What makes people unemployable is their understanding of what makes them employable. A degree only provides a standardized baseline of the graduate that a company then can use to compare them to others without having to really think too much about it.What makes you employable is your technical skills demonstrated as an application to the real world and the business. Your ability to continuously learn, your self-motivation, the ability to communicate effectively, problem solve work with others regardless of differences, to be able to see the big picture while still able to focus on your specific role. Identify opportunities, be flexible, the list goes on. Within the start up/incubator world what is missing that you can deliver?If you can demonstrate all this to the company that has your dream job then you'll be that dream employee they're looking for.
