ENFP Careers Advice - part 2

4. Don’t make a career selection on personality alone
Personality is very important and a useful guide when choosing a career, but it shouldn’t be the only factor taken into consideration.

Other things to think about are your skills, qualifications, what you like to do, areas of interest and the jobs and careers paths that are available and growing.

5. Build variety and change into your career path
Some more ENFP careers advice that may upset traditionalists who would prefer a stable one-company career path.  

Many ENFPs love variety and may have a rather low boredom threshold, so if their current job doesn’t offer them some variety or challenge they may end up job hopping.

To avoid becoming a job hopper, an ENFP can try building variety and change into a job or career path.  Ways to do this include working in environments with a lot of change,  doing project-based work, having 2 very different part time jobs or working for a small company where you get to ‘wear many hats’, i.e., do many different roles.

So if you’re an ENFP and have been following ‘generic’ careers advice and found yourself miserable in your job, that may have been where you’ve been going wrong.  There’s nothing wrong with you, you’ve just been following the wrong advice.   Perhaps now you need to look at ENFP careers advice!
