It’s a sentiment many of us can relate to. When people would ask me about the kind of job I was seeking, I would respond with the first thoughts that came to mind: as a computer engineer with experience in creating video games, I was looking for any job related to technology and programming in the game industry. However, deep down, I knew that creating games that evoked negative emotions in players didn’t align with my values. I also disliked the idea of working with toxic individuals or in a fast-paced environment that didn’t allow me to dive deep into my work.
Today, I have come to understand that true happiness comes from working with people who share aligned intentions. Whether it involves creating a game, developing an app, tending to a garden, working with children, or even preparing healthy food, I find joy when collaborating with like-minded individuals who prioritize self-care, radiate positive energy, and aim to make a positive impact on others and the world.
It wasn’t too long ago that I felt there was no job out there meant for me. However, I’ve realized that the traditional approach to job hunting doesn’t resonate with who I am. I know now that there are countless opportunities waiting for me if I shift my perspective and change the way I search for employment.
Moving forward, I am open to any job that allows me to create inner happiness by providing a service or product that improves people’s lives. I am eager to collaborate with positive individuals who appreciate a more balanced pace of work, regardless of the specific field or industry. While creating video games would be a great fit given my extensive experience, I am also open to exploring other paths where I can work with like-minded people who share aligned intentions. I’m a fast learner when I’m engaged in activities I truly enjoy.
The conventional societal norms surrounding job hunting have proven inadequate for my needs. However, I am confident that there are abundant opportunities out there for me. I just need to trust my inner radar and focus on intrinsic qualities, rather than getting caught up in job titles or external features.
