As children we all have dreams about what we want to become as adults. One of my childhood dreams was to become a doctor. That dream faded because as a child, I got into many accidents and decided I would leave stitching people up for someone else. So I directed my energy towards Education and taught children as young as five years of age to adults as old as fifty-five. The underlying theme in all of my employment opportunities were that I found myself being the teacher or trainer of something. When I worked in the mall, I trained all new employees on beauty and skincare products. At the call centers, I trained adults on policies, procedures, and software applications. I knew I had the aptitude to learn information quickly and teach other individuals by assessing their learning style.

What do you do if you don't have a set career path? Write down all the industries that you find interesting and find one common thread amongst them. You can research different opportunities by doing Google searches, searches on a particular industry, or job title. Once you find that common thread research to see if there is such a profession, if not start branding yourself as the only one of your kind. Work with a professional career coach to outline your goals. It is always good to have someone listen to what you want to do. Chances are they have a lead on what you want to do or know the resources that can help you.

How did I become a resume writer? I had someone tell me that I had a hidden talent, I researched this career industry, and found out that I could still educate individuals on a one-to-one basis. As a resume writer, I educate others about interviewing, negotiating, and the do's and don'ts of job searching. I also get to help people move towards their career path by writing an effective resume.
