This should take you 3 – 4 minutes.<\/p>\n While it\u2019s possible that you feel none of the jobs fit your own preferences, don\u2019t automatically dismiss this approach. \u00a0Whether the list gives you some concrete ideas or not, try to think how the job ideas relate to each other and whether they offer you some possible categories to research further.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thinking about your interests and the things you enjoy doing can be a good starting point for generating ideas of jobs that might suit you.
