Finished the career quiz! … what’s next?
Review the long list of career options and think about:
- what you like and dislike?
- what you value and don't value?
- what you believe and don't believe?
- what interests you and what doesn't?
- what you're good at and not good at?
- what you enjoy and don't enjoy?
Write your ideas down as you think of them. Knowing yourself helps you identify what you want from a job, learning or life in general.
Think about:
- the type of environment you would like to work in (eg. office, outdoors)
- things that interest you
- the skills you would like to learn
- the subjects you could study at school to prepare you for an apprenticeship or traineeship
- Who you can talk to in the area that interests you, find out the positives / negatives.
Decide what your 'non-negotiable' values, motivators, skills and interests are.
For example - determine what factors are critical to your job satisfaction, such as what is your preferred: location, salary, industry, work style and lifestyle.
These final 'non-negotiables' fill in the blanks of all the essential criteria and create a short list of suitable career options for YOU.
