5 top careers for result-oriented graduates šŸ†

Copied to clipboard

Itā€™s often said that there are two types of people; process-oriented and results-oriented.

While process-oriented (or goal-oriented) people will often embrace the entire journey of a particular task or project, individuals who are result-driven will always be focused on the end result, and how to get there quickly and efficiently.

While process-oriented people will usually be self-disciplined, with an inclination to stick to established rules and systems, and a reluctance to change, result-oriented people are much more open to change, with a focus on meeting outcomes regardless of challenges or other factors.

Neither orientation ā€“ process-oriented or result-oriented – is right or wrong, but both are better suited to different graduate careers.

If you think that the latter describes you, then the following job recommendations are customised for those who love seeing results come to fruition, both in the short term and long term.

5 result-oriented graduate careers

1. Office Manager / Personal Assistant

For an Office Manager or Personal Assistant, there are always new tasks to be done ā€“ so an adaptable, result-driven approach is vital.

Rather than being focused on routine and reluctant to change, those looking to work in these kinds of graduate jobs will need to be able to cope with constant fluctuation, challenges and new processes ā€“ in order to deal with the ever-changing nature of an office or senior stakeholderā€™s diary.

2. Graphic Designer

Graphic DesignersĀ create visual concepts designed to evoke certain moods.

A Graphic Designer will likely work on a range of projects; from creating posters to webpages, to marketing image copy.

Whether you choose to work for a consultancy/agency or set up your very own graphic design studio, it can be a great career for anyone with the necessary skills (i.e. illustration, and potentially a relevant creative degree), and a result-driven attitude.

Often, graphic design graduate jobs will be fast-paced, and lack a rigid process ā€“ especially if you choose to work freelance orĀ set up your own business.

This is because as a Graphic Designer, you’ll work with a wideĀ range of clients, all with very different requirements.

Therefore, a job in this field might be better suited toĀ a result-driven person, who focuses on the end result and is adaptable to change, rather than someone who is interested in the strategy orĀ process.
