Values vs Interests: What's the Difference?
An interest is something a person is curious about, enjoys exploring, or wants to engage with. A value is something a person considers important.
You can be interested without valuing it
You can be interested in photography without wanting a career in photography.
You can value without being interested in every related role
You can value service without being interested in every profession that involves helping people.
Two complementary questions
Interests: "What attracts my attention?" Values: "What matters to me about how I live and work?" Both can contribute useful information when exploring career direction.
Your values can tell you what matters. Your gifts and skills can help reveal how you may express it.
