Find Your Dream Job

In a perfect world, one day you will be a surgeon, anesthesiologist, or anesthesiologist assistant. I will need to know a lot about the human body and how it works. I also need to be able to think fast on my feet under pressure and be able to remain calm in stressful situations.

After taking the quiz I got the Practitioner role. It didn’t surprise me to get that role because it said I like anatomy and biology.

Did these jobs match what you had in mind for your dream job? Yes

Did you find your dream job? I don’t know yet

From the 3 job postings you found, choose one job you want the most, and use the list of skills required for the job of interest. Identify skills you already have and identify skills you are still building or need more experience performing. Discuss options to sharpen or learn the skills you will need to gain. I already have the soft skills needed for any job but I obviously need experience in a hospital and need to have a lot of schooling. I could volunteer at a hospital near me or work as a medical scribe when I’m not in school.
