1. Examine yourself.
•
What you enjoy doing and what you value can be helpful indicators 
about how you’d like to spend your working time. We’re not talking 
about finding and following your passion—that approach tends to 
be misleading and confusing. But it’s common to want to feel 
energized and even excited about what you do. Think over the 
following questions about your interests, values, and traits, and 
consider how you might answer them:
Interest-based questions:
•
What do you enjoy learning about?
•
How do you like to spend your time?
•
Do you enjoy manual labor or mental labor?
•
Do you enjoy working outside or inside?

Value-based questions:
•
What is most important in your life?
•
What are your priorities in life?
•
Where do you find meaning?
•
What change would you like to be a part of?
Trait-based questions:
•
What does success mean to you?
•
What do you want more of?
•
Which of your strengths do you enjoy the most?
•
Which of your skills are you most proud of?

2. Reflect on your motivations.
•
Once you’ve put together a list about
you
, turn to your motivations for 
working. Perhaps you want a career that will pay a higher entry-level salary 
than comparable occupations, or one that promises more flexibility so you 
can work from anywhere. Most careers won’t feature everything you’d like, 
so it’s important to understand your priorities.
Below, we’ve detailed a sample priorities list. Think over what you’d include 
on your list and how you’d organize your priorities.
•
Salary
•

•
Autonomy
•
