Ok, I am far from mid life but I am already facing a job crisis. Gosh…no wonder the lack of posts lately. My head’s been thinking, my heart’s been praying and my body’s been fidgeting over the possibility of changing career direction…I am lost! So many questions, so little answers yet so many opinions from everywhere. First and foremost, I wished GOD you are more transparent. Tell me to GO, I will go. Here now I am pondering, wondering, seeking and STILL seeking!

For the benefit of those who are reading this, it’s basically a tug of war between one job and the other. For my current job, not so exciting and slow paced but is stable and comfortable. As for the next job, it’s challenging, a little time consuming, perhaps will require me to start anew but open doors to wider horizons. I quite understand that I am a person who likes challenges but many concerns of life have watered down my enthusiasm. I get differing opinions from people. Some seems to think it’s crazy to leave behind a stable and comfortable job while others think that going forward, getting experience and adventure is good. I am always checking if this is all I can do. I still think I can do more than what I am doing now. Should I take the leap of faith?

So confused, I did a personality profile at Career Direct and here’s what it says…

General Description
As an Analyzer, you tend to seek perfect outcomes in all of your plans and projects. In many situations, you “take things apart” in your mind and think about ways to do them better. You excel at this kind of mental examination, but you may tend to see family and friends as “projects,” rather than as people.

Typical Areas of Strength
Analyzers, like you, tend to be analytical, logical, direct, confident, and they like new challenges. They excel at seeing the larger vision, creating efficient methods and procedures, and listening carefully for the facts.

Typical Areas of Struggle
Due to your tendency to focus on tasks, you sometimes show a lack of sensitivity to the feelings of family members and friends. When you are sharply focused on a task, you may come across as being overly critical, judgmental, blunt, or impatient with others.

Your Preferred Activities
To maximize your talents, you look for situations in which you can offer logical solutions to complex challenges, and you evaluate and make the necessary changes to assure the desired outcome.

Your Communication Style
You tend to provide insights and direction by teaching, managing, clarifying, and advising.
