There are career options for people with the strangest traits these days as jobs become more diversified and some opportunities lend themselves especially towards those with a knack for multitasking.
People have many different stances on what the definition “multitasking” really is. Some would argue in practice a multitasker equates to a jack of all trades but master of none and that if you are multitasking then you’re not really putting all your efforts into a single job. Others, however, feel that possessing this skill means possessing the ability to transition smoothly between many tasks. The emphasis being on the ease at which you can shift between responsibilities. Here’s a list of some of the best career options to look into when applying for a job.
Event Organiser
Career options in the planning sector require a very particular candidate. Whether it’s a grand wedding or a corporate function, as an event organiser you need to be on top of every single detail. In addition when delegating to the relevant people you inevitably have to deal with glitches in the operation and to conduct this without sacrificing the smooth running of the project is challenging.
Personal Assistant
They don’t often get the recognition they deserve, but when you’re working for a high powered boss there is a lot you have to deal with. It’s a career option that can be surprisingly lucrative and if you can juggle several things at once then that will stand you in good stead.
Construction Officer
As far as different options for your career with an emphasis on multitasking are concerned, one of the top ones would have to be a construction manager. The rewards for being able to manage many aspects of a single project are great and coming out under budget and on time is a worthy incentive for quality work.
You just get those people who make you wonder what you’re doing wrong just by the way they seem to be always on the go, covering so much ground and completing so many tasks, while still being able to get up early on a Saturday morning and go to the market. For these people there are different career options that seem specifically designed to suit their multitasking prowess. So whether it’s a change in career you’re looking for or you’re a student with an aptitude for simultaneously covering many bases, know that there are plenty more options out there to suit your privileged characteristic.
