Don’t always listen to the weird things that people talk about when you mention the fact that you want to change your job. You should choose your counsel wisely as most people haven’t thought through their vocations and are often on the standard road. They will try to deter you from changing your career as it validates their decision to stick with theirs.

Hopefully, you will find yourself in a better position after reading this series of articles on job interviews. I have also tried to dispel some of the scare tactics that might be interfering with your ability to judge whether or not to go for a new job.Firstly, we are going to dispel a few myths about careers.

1. Career Myth: You can’t make a living doing something you really, truly loveThis is the grand-daddy of career myths, the belief that you can’t have a “practical” career doing something that you were passionate about. It has to be one or the other.

   This myth is rooted in fear. Fear that we have to sacrifice our happiness to make a living. Don’t buy the myth that you can’t earn a living by doing what you love.

   If you find yourself buying into this myth, consider this question - As you look back on your life, what will you regret more? Following your passion or following your fears?

2. Career Myth: There’s a perfect job out there for everyone

   How long have you been searching for yours? You just know, deep inside, that there’s an ideal job that’s perfect for you out there. It matches your personality, skills, and interests to a tee. And it pays well. If only you could figure it out. If only you knew what it was.

   Is there a perfect job out there for you? No. And here’s the good news - there are more jobs than you can imagine that would be “perfect” for you. Chances are you’ve even come very, very close to a few of those perfect jobs already. So what happened? And how do you recognize one of these so-called “perfect jobs”?

   Ever see the perfect gift for someone, but it was months till his or her birthday? Then when you go to find the item later, you can’t. Another lost opportunity and you, once again, berate yourself for not buying it when you first saw it.

   So maybe you’ve run into a perfect job in the past, but because of the timing, you passed by the opportunity. Or maybe you were so focused on something else, that you missed an obvious clue. Instead of dwelling on the past, which you can’t change, vow to keep your eyes open and to look beyond the obvious.
