In this video I expand on advice from an article about finding your dream job from Forbes.com. In order to find your dream job you have to know what you want first. Then listen to your friend’s advice and take what works for you, leave what doesn’t. You have to filter anyone’s advice by what works for you at all times so that you don’t get off track, and take a job just because someone else suggested you’d be good at it. Listen to yourself first, at the end of the day you know what’s best for you.

Good topic. I myself, love to get feedback from my friends because many times we cannot see the great skills that we possess. For instance, we may be helping at an event but do not notice that we do have great project management and multi-tasking skills. Sometimes, others can see what we cannot.
Our task then, is to see how we can use those skills in our dream job—to enhance it or go outside of the box.
Thanks for the input!
