How Do I Know If a Career Fits Me?
Career fit is not simply whether you like the idea of a profession. Ask seven questions:
01
Can I develop the capabilities this career requires?
02
Do my natural gifts give me useful advantages in this kind of work?
03
Are the daily activities compatible with my interests and preferences?
04
Does the work environment fit important values I hold?
05
Am I willing to develop the skills I currently lack?
06
Do the actual working conditions fit my circumstances?
07
What evidence do I have beyond imagination or assumptions?
A career can fit in one dimension and not another. Career fit should be examined as a multi-dimensional picture.
Better career decisions come from combining self-understanding with evidence about real opportunities.
