Job ideas for Capricorn to succeed!

1. What kind of person is a Capricorn?

They say Capricorns are conservatives and they would rather not take any risks. Conservative here simply means that they prefer to follow familiar approaches instead of trying out something new. Of course, some Capricorn people may refuse to accept this and head out to experiment with things. It undeniably helps that they always finish what they’ve started, although they never rush things, which may lead to delayed deadlines. Their ambition drives them to achieve all goals determined. They might come across as self-centered from time to time, but they relentlessly try to elevate others.

1.1. What is a Capricorn good at?

Their analytical skills help Capricorns stay organized and make them real observers who pay attention to the tiniest details. They aren’t afraid of negotiating and they can quickly react to what others say. The Capricorn vocabulary contains words such as patience and creativity, and they love numbers. Unfortunately, their pessimism can cause setbacks in their lives and turbulence in their workplaces. The best jobs for Capricorns include teacher, graphic designer, copywriter, blogger, programmer, developer, jeweler, party planner, caregiver, and handyperson.

2.1. Teacher

What do teachers need a lot? Patience… Not only in classrooms but also during private lessons. Every student (adults and children alike) learns at their own pace. As Capricorns are patient, observant, and don’t like rushing things, they would make excellent teachers. Their love for numbers can push them towards teaching science, but they can always specialize in other subjects than math, chemistry, physics, biology, IT, etc. One can teach basically anything nowadays, from languages to marketing strategies.

Of course, Capricorn teachers must leave their pessimism at home and need to forget about themselves when teaching. If a student fails, the Capricorn can adopt creative methods to enhance their students’ skills. They may need to figure out how to think outside a box, just a bit. At the end of the day, Capricorns do set out to elevate others and reach the finish line—to successfully share their knowledge with curious students eager to learn. Discover online platforms such as College Nannies and Tutors, Preply, Lingoda, Qkids, Udemy, Savvy, italki, Verbling, Bidvine, Thumbtack, Dabble or Bidvine to meet your very first students.

2.2. Content Creator

Creativity doesn’t always refer to innovation or something risky. Capricorn freelance creatives benefit from having analytical and negotiation skills, patience and clear focus. We can list copywriter, blogger, ghostwriter, journalist, designer, illustrator, letterer, calligrapher, or photographer as the best jobs for Capricorns.

To be noted: every Capricorn freelancer must meet the deadlines previously agreed upon. Starting out as a freelancer comes with challenges and may take some time to build a solid client base, so your pessimism should not poison your mood. You should never forget that Rome wasn’t built in a day. Many freelancers work remotely, so juggling a part-time/full-time job and freelancing could go smoothly at the beginning of your journey working with platforms such as Fiverr, Upwork, PeoplePerHour, Freelancer.com, Hubstaff Talent, Fotolia, Snappr, Verblio, Bidvine, Byrd, TheONE, Toptal and Thumbtack.

2.3. Web Programmer

Programmers and developers also perform a kind of creative work when writing codes but they can’t live without analytical skills. Learning and then flawlessly using programming languages requires patience. Luckily Capricorns have loads of that. Deadlines may challenge them but they will finish the job—no matter what. To postpone the delivery, they may discuss a new deadline with their clients or bosses.

As programmers tend to work alone or in small teams, sometimes remotely, the Capricorn doesn’t have to control their egos so much. Yet you should focus on your work, the success of your team, and the results more than yourself, also when completing projects found on Thumbtack, Fiverr, PeoplePerHour, Hubstaff Talent, Upwork, Freelancer.com and Toptal.

2.5. Planner & Organizer

If someone should be hired to plan an event, it should be the Capricorn. Sure, they aren’t the fastest people on Earth to piece everything together, but they always do an excellent job. Their analytical skills equip them to complete the various states of event planning: from choosing the venue, the furniture, the caterer, the flowers to everything else necessary. Then again, you MUST walk out of the frames and concentrate on what your clients want. There’s no time to be self-centered and pessimistic when planning small and large-scale events through Thumbtack or Fiverr. Event planners have to speak to a variety of people, across sectors and industries, which a Capricorn like you may consider easy-peasy thanks to your diplomatic skills.

Apart from events, you have the option to do some easy handyman tasks, furniture assembly, decorating and painting jobs or clean out cupboards and organize closets, garages, attics, basements or entire homes. Or simply earn money doing something hilarious. Look at online portals such as TaskRabbit or AskForTask.

 

 

2.6. Handyperson

Aside from cleaning up the mess, skilled Capricorns may take on assignments as handypersons. Especially nowadays when sustainability comes up in many conversations, people have their stuff fixed more often. Well, at least many of them say they want to live a more eco-friendly life. This might indicate that more skilled plumbers, electricians, painters, mounters, mechanics, and IT support providers are needed.

These jobs allow you and other Capricorns to use your analytical skills while patiently checking every small part of a furniture, an e-scooter, a computer, heating systems, etc. As usual, deadlines may haunt you, so let your clients know in advance if an easy fast fix won’t offer a long-term solution. This won’t cause you any stress considering your kick-ass diplomatic skills. The platforms to find potential clients include TAKL, Lime Mechanic, Jop, YourMechanic, Networx, Thumbtack, Bizzby, TaskRabbit and Porch.
