Can Your Favorite Color Predict Your Perfect Job?

According to Careerbuilder.com, your favorite colors and which colors you prefer most to least, can help you figure out which career is best for you. Your color choices can reveal how you approach work, handle tasks and what types of workplaces is right for you.

First you pick the color you prefer most...red, yellow or blue. Then you choose the colors you prefer second...green, purple or orange and then achromatic colors...black, white or brown.

Your preferred color choice determines your talents and how you go about tasks. This color choice can also indicate what you overdo.

Here are some examples of what certain choices may reveal:

If you prefer: yellow, purple and white: You're the communicator.
Careers in corporate communications, marketing or religious occupations work best.

If you prefer: red, green and black: You're the investor.
Careers in finance, accounting, banking, manufacturing, property management, production analysis, investment, money management, consulting, product sales or teaching.

If you prefer: blue, orange and brown: You're the activist.
Careers in engineering, building, or developing new programs, companies or products. Also consider law enforcement, firefighting, social or government work.

A New Definition of Your "Dream Job"


An article in the January 2007 Journal of Occupation and Environmental Medicine states that fatigued workers cost employers $136.4 billion each year in health related lost productive time. A recently published NASA Study found that a short nap can boost workers' output by 34 %.

To increase worker productivity, efforts are being made by many US Employers to allow 20 minute cat naps and provide an employee rest area.

Accommodations can range from simple dimmed break rooms or more complex high end rooms with sleep mats and blankets.

For years many overseas nations have had this in place. The recent studies now support the theory that naps increase memory, worker productivity, reduce stress and improve health. Employers are finding that snoozing at work can actually be cost beneficial.

Inside Every Woman

I am always looking for a good book to read. Whether it be on self-improvement, inspiration or Business/Entrepreneur topics.

I found an incredible book titled, Inside Every Woman, written by Vickie L. Milazzo. Ms. Milazzo was recently listed on the Top 10 Entrepreneur List. She has dedicated her life to training and mentoring tens of thousands of women. Using her experience as an entrepreneur and business coach, she has taught women that making simple adjustments in your life can bring about positive changes.

This book reinforces that Inside Every Woman, is the strength to pursue what they want in life. You will learn how you can overcome any obstacles getting in the way of your goals, achieve what you want in your life and be successful in your career. Inside Every Woman gives you the tools to unleash the 10 forces within you.

I found as I read this book, it gave me a boost in confidence when I encountered problems faced in the early stages of my business. Reading Chapter 1 and learning the 5 promises you should make to yourself, really made me believe that as a woman, I can do anything. I realized there are strengths that I possess, but I might not tap into on a consistent basis. We need to make a commitment to ourselves over the length of our lifetime, not just today, tomorrow or next month.

I would recommend going to Vickie L. Milazzo's web site and reading the first chapter. It's FREE

Discover your spirit, boost your self-esteem and use your hidden strengths to enrich your life.
Inside Every Woman is a must read
