Lost on your career path? Here are nuggets of wisdom from Jessica Soho

Questioning whether or not a job is the right one for you is a situation that every individual has to go through at some point.

But how do we know if it’s time to take on a job or walk away from it? More importantly, how do we know if the path we’re treading on is the one meant for us?

According to award-winning journalist Jessica Soh, who is behind the show “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho,” knowing and understanding what you want to achieve in your career and where you want to go in life is vital in unlocking the right career path for you.

“Kailangan talagang alam mo kung anong gusto mo, saan mo gustong mapunta, ano ang gusto mong marating,” Jessica said in an interview.

“Kailangang isipin mo ‘yun sa mahabang panahon, kailangan ng deep internalization at introspection,” she added.

Some of the questions you have to ask yourself, as per the journalist, include “Saan ka ba magaling?” and “Ano 'yung pinakagusto mong gawin sa buhay?”

“Then, everything follows from there,” she added.

For Jessica, she knew early on that her calling was journalism.

“Journalism is a far bigger cause than anyone of us, so you have to show up for work, because there’s a public to be served,” she said.

“Malinaw sa akin kung ano ang role ko tuwing may assignment ako o tuwing may coverage ako,” she added. “Kailangan ma-deliver ko nang maayos ‘yung hinihingi sa akin.”

Jessica renewed her contract with GMA Network on Wednesday after 38 yeas of being a Kapuso broadcast journalist. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
