Set Values first before
entering the Job Market for life's Dignity and Satisfaction

What is important for a
jobseeker - a life with a career or a career with a life? For the
common man, both the scenarios are just the same. But when we say that we
need a life with a career, it indicates our priorities to lead a life that
holds only a career. However, when we talk about a career with life, this
has a separate meaning and it points towards a career that is enriched
with a life.
‘A career with a life’ is often advised to (new) jobseekers by
(international) human resources experts as they believe this perception
gives individuals a way to lead a peaceful and satisfied life.

According to Harrison Barnes, an
international job search guru, if anyone wants to think that he or she
should have a satisfied life, he must learn the adoption of values in his
character from time to time throughout life.
“Values are things that are most important to
us in our lives and careers. Values create a basis for how we view life,”
says Burnes. Since we have to lead ‘a life in our life’ to show our
existence in our society and among peers, the values can only help to
shape individuals in the right perspective so that it brings praise from
the society for all the achievements. These would be based definitely on
‘certain decisions’ that he / she took due to his / her values.
It is said that a strong decision taken by an individual is responsible
for every success. “For taking a decision, it is required to take a ‘risk’
and to take a risk it is required to be a person of rich values. A current
change in global and local markets and the emergence of new types of
careers invites decisions at every step to be taken during the job; and
our ‘learned and earned’ good values insulate us from any ruin,” believes
Erin Suess, a life and career coach.

What you honestly want out
of your life is not always easy. With our day to day routine and daily
grind, we often do not get time to really think about who we are, and what
we want out of life. The best way to overcome this dilemma is to create a
list of values which are most important in your case. Life career
scientists have named it as ‘Creating a Values’
Statement’. |
The latter, in fact, helps
in setting a mission in life. Though people prefer goals rather
than a mission in their life but missions bring satisfaction in
life. “Designing your own values’
statement will provide for living your life with dignity and give
you a clearer sense of direction towards the job as well as life,”
advises Mike Thomas of the Life Career Institute.
