• Career coach and HR expert Amy Nguyen says that any ordinary-seeming job has the potential be a dream job.
• A job's “elasticity” will let you truly own your role and venture beyond the key tasks.
• Look for companies where leaders have talent management among their top priorities.
• At the end of the day, it’s about growth, impact and who you are that makes or breaks a dream job.

It’s not uncommon to see that many people are eager to take on a job offer, only to  quickly realize that it’s far away from the dream job they envisioned. An exciting job on paper could turn out to be a never-ending chore. But there are also cases where a normal job transforms into a dream one. Without an ability to truly predict the future about an offer, one may lose out on a golden opportunity for their career trajectory.

Too often, job description is the first factor that attracts you to apply for a job at a certain organization. When deciding whether to invest your time and efforts in the application process, you’re most likely look at the compatibility between the skill set and experience requirements listed and what you have. You also look at the company’s name. (And if that’s something like Google, you even don’t have to think any further before working hard on your resume and cover letter.)
