Many of you have pointed out knowing your niche through my previous post. So, here I come with yet another post on identifying your niche.
One of the many mistakes that most of us might have done in our lives was choosing a career which your best friend might have chosen or something that was trending (Engineering or doctorate). I don't want to bring what mistakes you might have made, I just want you to do a self review or self analysis. So bring out a pen and a paper and answer below questions. Take up one question at one time.
1. What are your interests or strengths? Recall your SWOT analysis which you might have done in your 20s.
2. What is it that you are passionate about?
3. What's that one thing in which no one can beat you or hard to beat?
4. What makes you happy?
5. What is that one thing you would do even without a paycheck?
You are very close to knowing your niche.
Now few examples for you.
If someone is passionate about teaching but does not have interest in reading/writing, then that's not your niche. However, if you are passionate about journalism and have interest in writing then you are on right track of choosing your niche.
So ideally your niche would be a combination of both your passion and your interest.
Coming to the difference between a passion and interest. Interest is something that would strive you to achieve your passion.
Example your interest in singing will help you achieve your passion to become a singer.
So finally we can relate as to why finding your niche is important in cracking your interview. The career or the job you choose should be something you are passionate about and is inline with your niche. Your passion for any work will never let you fail in any interview or at any phase of life. So find out what makes you different from other people and review my questions.
Hope that you succeed in finding your niche and follow the path needed. Post your comments if you found this helpful.

That's very important someone should find their niche before passing out from school or college, it would become an ideal start then. Knowing it at the earliest would help everyone a lot.
