What is your calling of work?

Day 25

Not sure if this is an appropriate topic for the weekend, because weekends are normally designed for resting and relaxing. But we spend many years of life going to a college, and working a certain profession for many years. We might be satisfied with our current job, current salary, current working options and opportunities but do you think there might be another profession that could make you happier

So here is my question: What is your calling of work?

Why do people change profession after working many years in a line of work? Do you think you current line of work is the work of your calling? When at the age of 16 or 18 when we decide to go to college, do we really know what is the profession of calling? Imagine if colleges had the ability to actually understanding the true way of measuring the student's professional calling, then do you think we have as many job jumpers? An academic counselor at an college, what is the education background? Will good psychologist become good academic counselors?

If you are following a professional calling, do you think you have the feeling this is only a job? Do you think the rate of productivity will be higher than today? As a recruiter, how does the recruiter analyze a candidate out of 10 other candidate? Even a better question, how do you pick a resume out of 100 resume for a job application? What if creativity or writing is not a calling but numbers and budgets are the calling? How does the applicant with excellent budgetary skills present a presentable resume? The recruitment panel must have a different procedure and standards for every designed position in the company rather than have one unique procedure flat across the board.
