I graduated 2 years ago already. I have worked as a cashier in one of the department stores here in our place before I took Nurse Licensure Examination. After that, I tried to apply in a call center and I was hired. But, I only had few days training there then I quit because I just felt like it wasn't the right job for me. So I looked for another job and I found another one. I was hired as an online english teacher in one of online schools again here in our place. I only stayed there for 8 months then I resigned because I was no longer happy. I also don't want to work as a nurse in the hospital too because honestly, I don't like the ambiance (though I am already a nurse in profession). I started my private english lessons at home and that is what I am doing currently but it seemed like I'm tired of it already. I want to have another job but I still haven't decided what kind of job will really suit my qualifications and what job can rewally make me feel satisfied. I don't know why I am not easily contented with what I have. :-(

You just determine first of what is the best interests you like wherein you can stick to it forever. Just try to weigh everything & sort out your priorities whatever makes you happier then do it. My reason of quitting my first job is too much pressure & not well compensated. My 2nd job is due to Board of Directors indifferences that makes us more disturb of whose order to follow & soon enough than planned my 3rd job is not well compensated that my income is just enough for the needs of my family I don't have an emergency savings & extra savings. If I can find a job that is well compensated wherein the company is financially stable & I can find out that their is security for my family then I can say that I can stick to it forever.

Its not about contentment. Who can blame you for looking your career. I mean this is your life that we are talking about. Just keep on going finding the right path for you, I am very sure that in the you'll find it. Everything for me is just proper timing, if it is not yet your time to be who you are then no matter how we reach our goal we will alwyas fail. Our life is a continous process of time. We can only crawl if we are on the age for crawling, same way in walking, etc. etc. So don't loose hope, you'll have contentment as soon as you find whatever it is your looking for. Just keep on trying, you'll feel it if it is there already.

I can totally relate.at 26 YO,I already went to 5 different companies.it's a shame because it doesn't look good in my resume.I am now in my sixth job.I want to work abroad,and if that pushes through I will be in my 7th job already.I am not even 30 YO! I guess I found out my interests a little late.I want to work for the fashion and culinary industry.I don't have any experiences in those 2 fields,but that's ok for me.I am not giving up on it.I also plan to have my own business.business on clothes and food.I will be happy because I am my own boss.I hope it happens soon.

I think you should know what's your interest first. It determine if you can do it or not,happy or unhappy. Maybe you can take a test online, to see what kind jobs fit you.Then you select ,try to find the one you like.
You should know what do you want from the job, according to your work experience, find a job is easy, the question is to find a good job, which you like it and done it good.If you want to have much free time,you'd better not go to these company worked from 8;00 a.m. to 6;00 p.m.It will made you crazy, such like me!;) If you want high salary,to see these tasks if you can afford.If you don't bear the ambiance of the office, maybe you can try as a self-employed person.
In a word, enjoy your life whatever what kind of work you do.
