Dr. Petrels produces and performs in his own show every week. The program is very popular with his patients and with people who enjoy his singing. His dream is to perform(表演) in Las Vegas. His favorite songs are love songs, and he has a compact disk of love songs that he wrote. Dr. Petrels says, "I always loved to sing. All my problems are gone when I sing." But when Dr. Petrels was young, his father didn't want him to be a singer, so he went to medical school.

Sometimes it's difficult to make a sick person smile. Medicine and entertainment(娱乐) both try to do the same thing. They try to make people feel good."
There are a number of tips that you can follow to help you find a job that suits your personality.
List your strong and weak points
Before you start your job search, take some time to think about your strong and weak points. If you are excellent at managing your time, for example, a job in project management, or one that involves organising others, could be perfect.
Ask others for their opinions
Although you should know yourself better than anyone else, there are times when a second opinion is needed. They may come up with ideas that you haven't considered. You should, however, make sure that they aren't so protective of you that they persuade you not to push yourself, or encourage you so much that you aim too high.
Find out what potential jobs involve
Make sure you do as much research as possible to determine exactly what you will have to do. An office job may sound very safe if you are shy, but if you then find that you have to give regular presentations, you may not be cut out for it after all.
When looking for a job, many people have an idea of what they would like to be in the future. However, that is often little more than a dream and, even if it is possible to reach that goal, it may involve years of hard work that you don't enjoy. If you can find a job that mirrors what makes you happy in life, then the chances are that you will enjoy it and it will match your personality type.
A. Take a personality test
B. Consider what delights you
C. Think about what makes you happy and then analyse why.
D. Finding a job that suits your personality is very important.
E. Ask your friends and family what sort of job they think would suit you best.
F. Sometimes, it isn't immediately obvious what a job will involve until you start it.
G. More importantly, think about how they would affect your ability to do particular jobs.
