business Jul 29, 2023

Summary: Are you looking for a career that fulfills all aspects of your being? If so, having a multidimensional career might be the answer! In this article I discuss how to build a multidimensional career by discovering your values and goals, identifying your skills and interests, and exploring different options for creating a multidimensional career that allows you to fully embody the full spectrum of your talents & interests.

Somehow I could never tie myself down to just one thing. For as long as I can remember I have been multi-passionate. Perhaps that's why I double majored at University and split my interest between legal studies and languages. I'm always looking for new skills to learn and new experiences to have. I just love the thrill of discovering something new and applying it to my current projects; finding connections between seemingly disconnected life areas has always sparked my interest. If this sounds like you, then maybe you need to explore a career that aligns with your multidimensional nature.

What's a Multi-Dimensional Career?

Multi-dimensional careers encompass multiple professions or streams of work into one. You may have heard of it as a slash / career or a portfolio career. Regardless of the title, this type of career helps you to fill the gaps where one thing just doesn't give you that sense of fulfillment and all that you might be looking for in your work. Multi-dimensional careers are characterized by flexibility, adaptability, and the ability to pivot between different areas of work. This type of career allows for greater creativity, exploration, and growth, as well as the opportunity to gain a variety of skills and experience. It also provides more stability than the traditional route, as it is less likely to be affected by economic downturns or changes in the job market.

Pursuing a multidimensional career is like putting together a puzzle with many pieces. Each piece works together to form a complete picture, and when all the pieces are in place it creates a more comprehensive and satisfying experience than a single job can provide.

The beauty of this approach is that it allows you to develop a wide range of skills that can be applied to different contexts and can open up opportunities for greater personal and professional growth. Plus, it also gives you the flexibility to adjust your career path as needed; especially in the face of unpredictable circumstances.

Benefits of Multi-Dimensional Careers

Multidimensional careers have many benefits. Not only is it more enriching and fulfilling, but it also increases your employability and provides you with greater financial security. Having multiple sources of income can protect you from economic downturns or job losses in one area. Having a variety of skills can also make you more attractive to employers, since you can easily switch between roles and are armed with a rather unique combination of skills and experience. Additionally, pursuing a multidimensional career can help you to stay motivated and inspired in your professional pursuits.

Here are a few additional benefits:

Greater sense of job satisfaction. When you have a multidimensional career, you're able to do work that you're passionate about and that aligns with your values. This can lead to a greater sense of satisfaction and fulfillment in your work.
More opportunity for continuous learning and growth. A multidimensional career allows you to explore different areas of work and learn new skills. This can help you to stay ahead of the curve in your field and to continue to grow and develop as a professional.
Enhanced resilience and adaptability. The ability to adapt to change is essential in today's rapidly changing world. A multidimensional career can help you to develop this skill, as you're constantly learning and growing and adapting to new challenges.
Increased likelihood of being able to find work in the future. The traditional career model is becoming increasingly outdated. In the future, it's likely that people will need to have a variety of skills and be able to adapt to different roles in order to be successful. A multidimensional career can help you to prepare for this future.
