Jobhop Jobhop's blog : What Do Social Media Jobs and Fishing Have in Common?
Here at Jobhop, we talk about niching yourself as much as possible, because it makes you more valuable. We have a good example of this, a Norfolk company is looking for a social media assistant, but not just any social media assistant, they have to be passionate about fishing. Angling Direct are the largest online Angling site and also have stores across the UK, this company knows the power of employing people with passion.
This is what we mean by doing something that you love; there can be many paths that lead you back to what you’re truly passionate about.
Let’s take marketing if you’re a marketing person who is passionate about horses then combine the two. Jobhop recently worked with Feedmark a big horse feed company; their ideal candidate was someone who was good at marketing but also had a passion for horses.The ideal candidate not only got to work on great marketing campaigns but was able to go to all the horse shows to promote the horse feed, for someone with a passion for horses it’s a dream job. A company that specialises in angling, horses, cars, boats, design or anything you can think of are always going to favour someone who has a passion for it as well as the skills to do the job they’re recruiting for.
In our experience combining a work skill, like marketing with a passion for horses can sometimes be more beneficial than directly becoming engulfed by the industry, for example becoming a groom, or becoming a driving instructor because of your love of cars.
Sometimes being fully immersed every day in your hobby takes the fun away and the last thing you want to do at the weekend is groom another horse, go fishing or take the family out for a Sunday drive. If that sounds like you then the perfect solution is to look at your skills and see how they can be used in an industry you’re passionate about.
Jobhop wants you to do a job that makes your heart sing every day; there are ways that you can make that happen, we can help you.
