We are well into 2017 and if you are still suffering from the post-January blues, it may be time to reassess your current job and try something new.
If you want more out of your work life, you’re not alone. And, more importantly, you’re not out of time. Thousands of jobs are available every day on Glassdoor, and to keep you from feeling overwhelmed, we’ve chosen eight that we think could be transformative, exciting, and impactful.
Here are a handful of dream jobs you can apply to now!
United Kingdom
We think that being a pilot may well be one of the coolest jobs in the world. You basically get to play flight simulations all day, but for real. Also you get to wear the uniform which means you can be a rock star without having to learn to sing or play a musical instrument. Oh..and you also travel the world and get paid for it. So to sum up, this is an extremely cool job, and if you feel that you are stuck or bored – this job could well be the perfect option for you.
London, England
No, your eyes do not mislead you – this job is to work at Walt Disney. Make your inner child jump up and down with unbridled glee and your friends green with envy. We cannot promise that you will find your favourite characters roaming the hallowed halls (although we can hope), but you will be working with some phenomenal partner brands including the likes of Kenzo, Jimmy Choo, and Christian Louboutin.
Kingston-upon-Thames, England
Ok, so you may never have even heard of this successful software company and probably never saw yourself working in Surrey. However, there are some compelling reasons why this could well be your dream job. Not only will you be playing a crucial part in the marketing strategy of this company, exposing you to a range of experiences, but Moogsoft take staff welfare super seriously and offer 25 days’ holiday, weekly massages, weekly company lunches, and a kitchen stocked with snacks and cold drinks. Not too shabby at all.
Fulham, England
There is a certain type of person who enjoys exercise. They relish the pain, and delight in the burn. And, if you are one of that minority, this could well be the job for you. Not only would you be able to design for a company you are truly passionate about and quite possibly come to work in your exercise clothes. But you would also receive a phenomenal 50% off all Sweaty Betty merchandise, free exercise classes, and access to some ridiculously affordable sample sales. So, what are you waiting for? Get your finger moving and…
London, England
Leaving University can seem a little overwhelming. The shift from the soft, warm, protective blanket of student finance and freedom can make any postgraduate feel stressed. However, we think we have just the job to calm your nerves. Harrods have started a brand spanking new IT Graduate Programme that will allow a recent grad the opportunity to work across most of the IT team. But, more important than the fantastic opportunities, the stunning location, and innovation that will be surrounding you, you’ll be able to put Harrods on your CV, and get a hefty staff discount in store.
Croydon, England
This is the perfect option for a passionate coder looking to take that next step on the career ladder. Kynetix is an incredibly successful fintech company which is dedicated to innovation and development, not only that, but they have offices all over the world, including Europe, America, and Asia. This type of job may well involve some serious travelling as well as some exciting opportunities to help drive the company forward. So, if you are a coder looking for something a little more corporate, this may well be the right job for you.
London, England
These days a lot of emphasis is placed upon the tech sector, with companies like Facebook, Google, and others often touted as the best places to work. However, let us not forget the all-important fashion sector - where passionate clothing addicts can turn their obsession into a paid job. And being a Senior Stylist at The White Company isn’t a bad place to start at all – allowing you to show off your creativity, presentation skills, and eye for detail, it may well prove to be the job of a lifetime.
London, England
The PR industry is notoriously difficult to enter, however for those dedicated individuals looking for that next challenge, this could well be the job for you. Working with external PR agencies across the world out of some stunning offices in London, you will have a range of exciting responsibilities including creating compelling stories, assisting in the coordination of interviews, monitoring the media and industry for any breaking stories, as well as proofreading content. A great opportunity for a linguist, this job could well be your next big career move.
