What Career Is Right for Me?
There may not be one universally right career waiting to be discovered.
A better question is: which career options fit the person I am, the abilities I have, what matters to me and the contribution I want to make?
Natural gifts
What abilities seem to come naturally to you? These can provide clues about where you may have untapped potential worth exploring.
Skills
What can you currently do well? What capabilities have you developed through education, work or practice?
Interests
What subjects, activities or problems consistently attract your attention? Interest can provide sustained motivation for development.
Values
What matters enough to influence your decisions? A career that conflicts with important values can become difficult to sustain.
Work environment
Where do you perform and function best? Management style, autonomy, pace, collaboration and structure all affect experience.
Build a picture first
A career can look attractive from the outside and still be a poor fit. Instead of asking only "What job should I choose?", build a picture of yourself first. Then compare that picture against real career options. That turns career choice from a guessing exercise into a process of informed exploration.
