Dream job. Astronaut, actor, writer, neurosurgeon, zookeeper, or fashion designer \u2013what makes the job to become a dream choice for someone? Is it prestige, purpose, or glamour, or is it simply money? We all dream of something since childhood, growing up our dreams are confronted with more rational ourselves, and dream job reshuffles from a pleasant joyful or fun <\/p>\n\n\n\n

activity to rational questioningof our skills, and potentialorto focusing ona moneymaking opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it possible to define a dream job, to make it more tangible and easier to be found?Let\u2019s try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What exactly does make the job to be a desired one? The same question is being askedacross the globe, you can find variousrankings and charts of popular professions on the internet, trying to answer it.I will share with you the most interesting ones lateron, but let\u2019s start with defining the attributes of adream job phenomenon, shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firstone could bethe most practical one \u2013pay. Salary or money,in general,seems to be a very important aspect, in some cases and for a big part of the population it is the strongest motivation to wake up in the morning and go to work. We all have bills to be paid, this is a fact.But a high salary, surprisingly,doesn\u2019t lead you to the dream job. According to Cambridge research, happiness doesnot increasewith a growing income-you have to double your income for a very small increase inhappiness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it seems, that all the inspirational sayings about the low importance of moneyinour lives are very true…and pay doesn\u2019t contribute much to a job to become the dream one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about the \u201cstress vs. easiness\u201dof the job? Nobodywantsto face difficulties, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we go withanother surprise \u2013looking for your dream job, neverlook for an easy oneto enjoy. Stress, especially negative \u201cbad stress\u201d is a hard timeforus, and often causes disappointment, even meaninglessness and social isolation, feelingsof lower autonomy and failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However,research proved that a job without a certain level ofstress is not fulfilling. The explanationis logical \u2013drifting around could be fun for a while, but it might lead to boredom very soon. The optimalis to balance stress to the level of positive stretch and challenge. Workinghard and succeeding means having thepower to fulfil, aligned with autonomy, a meaning or purpose, often social support and finally \u2013SUCCESS. People who work hard and succeed, retire late,and live longer, feel healthierand happier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, a dream job shouldn\u2019t be an easy one \u2013betterseek a job that allowsyou to handle some challenging peaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positive psychology,researching our subject for over 2 decades,is introducing 5 factors known as the PERMA model (*by Martin E.P. Seligman, famous American psychologist, and expert in the area of well-being)<\/em>contributing to the dream job design, which complementsour well-being. We are getting closer and closer… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check, what shouldn\u2019t be missing in your dream job according tothe PERMA model:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. P<\/strong>ositive emotion \u2013is actually the most importantprerequisite for finding happiness in anythingyou do.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. E<\/strong>ngagement \u2013allows a \u201cflow\u201dfeeling at work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. R<\/strong>elationships\u2013feeling accepted is nice wherever you are \u2013also at the workplace.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. M<\/strong>eaning,orpurposefulness \u2013i.e., doing work that helps others, thatcounts a lot. (Butit isn\u2019t so clear cut\u2013e.g., donating to a charity has a similar relation tosubjective well-beingas doublinganincome \u2013it won\u2019t increase your happiness and satisfactioninthe long run-so altruism isn\u2019t the right choice.Search further…)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. A<\/strong>ccomplishments \u2013well, always feels great being good at what you do\u2013otherwise you wouldn\u2019tbehappyat work.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      To summarize it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Having a dream job means findingengaging work, that contributes and helps others, which is a morally right thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      One little (and research-proven) secretsupporting successis, that people with a giving mindset often succeed more than average \u2013so open your heart and apply empathy\u2013success will come naturally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Try to keep all your relationships at work healthy a harmonicand be aware of aligned hygiene factors (avoid long hours, uncomfortablecommuting, or unfair pay) and make it matchwith the rest of your life (otherwise impossible to be kept on a long run). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
