Finding a Place to Start: Self Assessment
Putting It All Together: Making Sense of Self Assessment
Now that you have examined your VALUES, INTERESTS and SKILLS, here are some ways to integrate this information into your career-decisions:
What are some of the career choices you are considering, and how well do these match your skills, interests, and values?
Are there skills you want to develop further that will make you a more viable candidate?
Are there any conflicts between your values or interests and the career options you are considering?
How might you try to resolve these conflicts? (e.g. if you value family happiness and want time with family, you might try to negotiate a more flexible schedule that would permit you to spend time with family in the evenings, for example).
Reflecting on your priorities may help you to make career decisions that are better integrated with your values, interests and skills, and thus more likely to provide you with career satisfaction.
