Personality is not just your height, weight, looks, etc. This only refers to your surface personality. What about your hidden qualities that do not or rather very rarely surface? https://saipatelblog.weebly.com/right-personality.html

1. Right Personality +
Right Profession =
Successful Future
‘Shweta, a 20 year old, had great aspirations for herself like any other person of her age. She wanted to pursue
an MBA in Marketing because it was the most popular career and also because her friends often told her
that she is very good at convincing others. Shweta completed her graduation and gained admission into
MBA. She successfully completed the two year full-time course with a specialization in Marketing & got into a
job. Initially Shweta felt a sense of achievement since she had finally got into the field of her own choice. Six
months passed by. Now slowly a feeling of inability to handle the stress of the job started pouring in. The
reason being, her job profile included aspects that she had never expected she would ever have to go
through, for instance, her job included not just visiting MNCs, but also rural areas, continuous travelling,
frequent out-station trips, pressure to meet deadlines, and so on…finally leading to the “I quit” decision.’
This is no unusual or unfamiliar situation to any of us. In fact, many of us might currently be part of a similar
situation but probably wouldn’t want to admit, the reason being fear of different factors like parental
pressure, societal image, etc. But have we ever given a thought to the factors leading us to such situations.
Lets face it…’nothing just happens’. There is probably ignorance on our part to some of the most important
aspects that need to be considered much before entering a particular stream, for instance, the extent of your
abilities, your level of intelligence, and most of all the kind of person you are, i.e. your personality, which is one
of the most crucial dimensions to be well thought about.
Personality is not just your height, weight, looks, etc. This only refers to your surface personality. What about
your hidden qualities that do not or rather very rarely surface? Something like the extent to which you can
handle your emotions, face daily life situations, social behavioural aspects like mixing up in a crowd, talking
mannerisms, observation skills, stress tolerance, etc.
Keeping all this in mind, let’s look at a few professions and the specific personality traits that they demand of
a person;

2. Actor / Actress
A profession that’s always been a ‘dream of many, but reality for
a chosen few’. Opportunities to try your hand at it have
increased considering the number of auditions being
conducted and the increase in number of training institutes. So
is this field open only to those with good looks and a good
built? If only good looks were the criterion to be a part of this
industry, then all the ‘beautiful & handsome’ would have ruled.
But we know that’s not true. It is only the talent & creativity of
the performer that makes them pillars of the entertainment industry.
A person with so-called perfect looks & figure can probably be a hero or a heroine but not necessarily a good
actor / actress.
Now what do you think are the personality traits required if you are looking forward to being the best actor
around some day? Just read on to get a hint;
Ability to face criticism and take it in the positive sense
Absence of stage fear / comfortable in front of the camera
Creativity
Dedication & commitment

Good health & stamina
Observation skills
Patience
Self-confidence
Air-Hostess
Flying high up in the sky, wearing the perfect outfit, getting a
good handsome pay every month [not to mention the
additional incentives], being in a different country or state
every second day…wow! Sounds great, doesn’t it?
What does it take to be an air-hostess? Often one gets into
the job with various reasons, like, “I love travelling”, “want to
fulfill my childhood dream”, “I’ve always dreamt of touring
round the world”, “want to earn a lot of money”, “I think I look
good and so deserve to be one”, and so on…
It’s good to aspire so high, but what about the personality traits that the job of an air-hostess actually
demands? Now this is something which is ignored most of the time. So here’s an indicative list;

Architect
Not just creativity but ‘concrete creativity’ is what you require to
succeed as an architect. A field that explores your technical as
well as creative skills…of course alongside it’s own demands of
the kind of person you ought to be to cope up with the
demands of the job.
The list although indicative will definitely give you a hint as to
what you need to expect and improve in yourself before actually stepping into this profession;

Beautician
Visiting the beauty parlour for various reasons has now
become a part and parcel of routine life, something without
which a person [male/female] cannot survive.

4. Imagine the parlour crowded with clients throughout the
day and if your observation skills are good, you would have
definitely observed your beautician attending to every client
with the same pleasant expression, doing the needful
wholeheartedly without his/her exhaustion affecting the
work effectiveness in any way.
Do you think you can be one of them, having the same level
of patience, oversee your exhaustion and still provide the
best quality service to your customers? These are just a few
qualities. Additional qualities include;

Doctor
A profession that is a dream and ambition for many and
serves as an inspiration to others…a profession that not
only brings in good money but alongside good status
too…but like it’s always said “nothing comes easy”. In order
to walk on this velvet path you need to definitely cross
over a lot of crude, thorny paths like mental & physical
exertion, variable time schedule, working under time
pressure, handling a family that knows no medical terms, handling a patient who trusts you the least,
counseling patients & families at times even though you might be at the peak of exhaustion, and so on…
before you reach your final destination.
So now let’s think about how difficult it should be to actually be able maintain this flow of good money and
status. Well, one aspect that’ll help you with this is awareness of the personality qualities, which you need to,
possess, or develop/improve within yourselves, that’ll help you achieve your goal and progress ahead;

A world in itself that offers more that 50 specializations most of
which still remain undiscovered by aspirants. The reason being a
few typical specializations like mechanical, chemical, civil,
electronics, etc. that is known to all and so the future generation
being guided along the same lines. Anyways, whatever the
specialization in this vast field, a lot of personal qualities most
essential to survive and succeed remain the same considering
this field of Engineering as a whole.
To name a few;
Analytical & logical reasoning skills
Capacity to handle physical exertion during field-work.
Constant mental alertness
Craving to update oneself with needs of the current hour
Good observation skills

Pilot
Being a pilot is of course very prestigious not in terms of the
pay, rather considering the fact that the term ‘pilot’ is rather
synonymous to being responsible for the safety of thousands of
lives at a time. Very few people get the opportunity to hold such
responsible positions in course of their life span.
In view of the vitality of the post therefore it becomes necessary
to bear in mind the requisite traits in an individual that alone
create the path towards success in this profession. For instance

Event Manager
With an increase in high-profile events like the Filmfare
Awards, IIFAA Awards, Star Parivaar Awards, MTv
awards, and the like, developing a formal training
programme in managing such events was probably felt
as the need of the hour, the result of which we now
have courses on Event Management alone.
It is however wrong to assume that managing such
media hyped events should be an easy task, or that it
doesn’t take much to be an event manager. Definitely it does, especially taking into account mastery over
certain soft skills or individual traits as a whole in addition to the formal training.
Ability for multi-tasking
Ability to execute specific work to specific people
Ability to stay up & work till late hours
Ability to understand & manage people.
Excellent planning & organizational skills

popular reasons could be “because I’ve always had a flair for

survive in sought-after profession?

name a few;

Working at Call Centres
The in-thing today that helps you earn quick bucks, yes of
course. So if you feel you do not get enough pocket money
for your personal expenses, then work at a call center
alongside you college education. This is the fact that has
captured the thought processes of most youngsters today
not realizing that it definitely creates a block to further
progress on the educational front.
All right, assuming you wish to take up this job on a temporary basis just to finance yourself for future
education, do also consider then the qualities you need to check and if necessary develop in yourself to cope
with the intense stress and strain of this job.
Ability to manage different projects at different times.
Ability to work at odd hours
Ability to work under immense pressure
Ability to understand unexpressed needs of customers.

choosing the right field. Much of the share of importance is given to either the status & money involved in the
profession or our personal interest or because a particular career option is the in and most happening now.
But it is crucial to emphasize the fact that possessing the right personality traits alongside interest and
abilities is equally important and since creating a change in personality is completely in your hands, it’s not a
tough job.

right manner to ensure a successful accomplishment of your goal. If you have anything really valuable to

8. contribute to the world it will come through the expression of your own personality. That’s the only thing
which sets you off and makes you different from every other individual.
