What I Want v.s. What I am Capable of

Lots of People send me LinkedIn messages requesting for any employment opportunity in the company I work. Mostly, I follow the standard procedures and help them as far as it is possible. Sometimes, I receive a strange request like "Can I get a job which I want"?
When I was evaluating the notion of 'what I want' and 'what I am capable of', there came a thought about the mentioned phrases. First, What I want is related to the desire which reflects the wishes of individual for themselves. Sometimes such view are inculcated  by others who always praise without reason. For example, saying that you have a great potential to a person who has no knowledge and experience of a particular field results in raising the false hopes. However, people are more judgmental and accurate in assessing others but they judge as per their own criteria and environment (not as per job requirement). Keeping such situations in mind, the image of self should be very clear when you are looking for What I want. Make sure what you want is reasonable not fantasy. Second, What I am capable of is one strong, challenging and adventurous state where you test yourself and come to know what you can really do. Challenges make you go ahead and improve your bar. There are two aspects of this notion. First, it is perceived after testing your limits. That, which is Good. Other one is percieved before testing your abilities and capabilities which is again based on false perception or misjudgment of what we are.
Rarely, people select what they want to be. People usually cannot select what they can be. Let the selection process be done by the recruitment specialist. There could be lapses in the organizations where the true talent are kept to rust while the prejudice and nepotism is always makes it place. Organizations must do recruitment on merit and hire the true talent for the growth of company and employee. Right person at the right job does make a difference.

One should go through assessment and evaluations so that they may know about their real capabilities. After that they must go for the job which is best suitable to them. They must challenge themselves constantly and   improve so they can grow.

I personally believe you are capable. Test your limits and achieve the impossible.
