This involves identifying the kind of tasks, activities, qualities, aptitudes and skills required in particular types of work. This allows you to relate 'what I want and what I have to offer' to possible areas of work.
It's also about researching job prospects (are there many jobs in this occupational area? Are they in the right location for you?), competition at entry level and employment trends (is this occupation likely to still exist in 5 years time?).
To make certain that a job will really suit you, you need to research thoroughly any types of work which appeal to you, as well as similar or related occupations, considering carefully how closely they fit your own personal specification.
You are capable of doing many jobs, but to be happy and fulfilled there should be a good match between your skills, abilities, values and the demands of your chosen occupation. This will allow you to focus your job seeking activities on areas you know you will enjoy and are therefore more likely to be successful.
