Is Yours A Survival Job, Bridge Job, Or A Career Job?

Kenyan  jobs come in three forms: Survival Jobs, Bridge Jobs, and Career Jobs. All three require skills and the ability to describe your skills.

Survival Jobs — these jobs pay the bills. They are probably less than ideal and may not really fit your personality and interests. Sometimes you need to take a Survival Job while you continue looking for a work opportunity with more potential, or look for a job that better fits your personality and interests. Survival Jobs can be useful in other ways, too.

The references you receive from Survival Jobs may determine whether you get any other kind of job! And there is nothing wrong with surviving, after all.

Bridge Jobs – these jobs are a step in the right direction. They may be necessary for a variety of good reasons. They somehow put you closer to your ideal kind of work. The key ingredient of a Bridge Job is that it helps you become more qualified for a Career Job.

For example, a Bridge Job may provide experience and the opportunity to develop key skills. Bridge Jobs are the difference between just “having a job” and “pursuing a career.”

Career Jobs — these jobs have most of what you are looking for — and working toward. They may include opportunity for advancement, further learning and skills training, if those things are important to you. The pay is satisfactory; you are proud of what you do; you go to work each day with a big smile on your face.

You are comfortable with your lifestyle and can provide for your family. Career jobs are as close to your ideal job as you may find. Career jobs will help fulfill your sense of purpose.

Many Kenyans get stuck in a survival rut because they are not aware of other options (we call this underemployment). Others do not spend enough time learning about occupations they are considering. Most people, however, get stuck because they never take time to consider what they REALLY want.

Others fail to devise a plan on how to achieve their career goals. Others just fail to execute because they lacked the courage necessary to do something that is difficult in order to get something they truly desire.

Several factors may influence the kind of job you need to find right now. What real or imagined barriers do you face? How long can you afford not to work? Once again, are you qualified, now, for a career job? You may need to take a job to survive, for the time being. Or you may need to find a job where you can build your skills and responsibilities enough to enter the career of your choosing.

So, is yours a career job, survival or bridge job? Comments below.
