The Ultimate Guide to Finding Your Perfect Job: Lessons from 'Do What You Are'

Step-by-Step Strategies to Match Your Personality with Your Ideal Career

The search for the perfect job can feel overwhelming, but 'Do What You Are' offers a proven method to make it easier. The secret? Start with who you are, not just what’s available. This comprehensive guide walks you through the book’s step-by-step process for aligning your career with your MBTI personality type.

Begin with honest self-reflection. The book’s assessment tools help you clarify your preferences on the four MBTI dimensions. Next, dive into the detailed profiles for each type, which include lists of recommended careers, work environments, and potential pitfalls. For example, INFJs often thrive in roles that allow them to help others, while ESTPs excel in fast-paced, hands-on jobs.

Once you know your type, research careers that align with your strengths. The book suggests informational interviews, job shadowing, and internships as ways to test the waters before making a big leap. It also offers advice for tailoring your resume and interview answers to highlight your personality-driven strengths.

Finally, the guide covers how to navigate obstacles like unsupportive family, financial pressures, or fear of change. With practical tips and encouragement, 'Do What You Are' empowers you to take control of your career journey and find a job that feels like home.
