How I got my dream job
Are you still looking for your dream job? Don’t give up. Here’s how three people achieved their goals.

Mario Mendes, 29 - I’m doing something I enjoy. I’m part of a team that develops new technologies. I
work with intelligent, interesting people and occasionally get to travel abroad. I won’t pretend it was
easy getting my dream job, but it was worth the effort. My advice? Decide exactly what your dream job
is and what it involves. Learn about the job. Make contact with companies that could offer your chosen
career. Make sure they know your strengths. You may just get that dream job.

Andy Collins, 46 - As a student, I earned $295 a week in cash working in a beach café. At the time, it
was my dream job! Later I became a chef. It was hard work, I was often in a hot kitchen for twelve

 hours a day, six days a week. But you have to know the meaning of hard work if you want to achieve
your goals. I now own five restaurants around the U.S. My best advice is to find out what your skills
and talents are. Talent is something you’re born with. Skills are something you’ve learned to do. People
like doing things that come naturally to them, so work and enjoy!

Sarah Cooper, 38 - I’d been working as a secretary for three years when I decided to change my
career. My work was often boring and always busy. I started studying to become a teacher. It certainly
wasn’t easy, I continued working full-time to pay for my training at night school. I was exhausted most
of the time, but after two years, I finally got my qualifications and resigned. I’m now a primary school
teacher and it’s as good as I imagined. So don’t wait! Write a list of the things that are stopping you
