What job?
Although creative people tend to share key personality traits, exactly what gets your creative juices flowing is really down to your own individual skills, passions and interests. See our list below of some of the jobs that would fit you…

DJing, playing instruments, singing... The music industry is highly sought after. However, there are lots of other ways to get involved from being a sound technician through to teaching music to classes.
Hair and beauty
It may not immediately spring to mind but some of the top hair stylists and beauticians are actually incredibly creative, producing living works of art on happy clients (at least, that’s the hope!).

Ah, fashion. It certainly oozes glamour. Of course, fashion designers have to be incredibly creative people but there’s a lot more to being involved in fashion than making clothes. Buying, merchandising, styling shop windows… The opportunities are endless.
