3. Think about your long-term goals.
•
What does your most perfect life look like? Make a list of your long-
term goals, both personal and professional, to help you understand 
what it might take to reach them. For example: Do you want to rise 
past the managerial ranks and advance to the C-suite of a company? 
Do you want to own a house? Do you want to be able to travel—and 
how often?
•
The list you put together can also help you approach a job search 
more specifically. For example, if you want to work in the same 
industry 10 years from now, research which industries are poised to 
continue growing over the next decade and which to possibly avoid 
due to increasing automation or other factors.

4. Take different self-assessment tests.
•
There are a number of tests you can take to evaluate everything from 
your personality to your strengths—and even what career might be a 
good fit. But tests can be overly prescriptive, meaning they tend to 
impose categories
on
you. Rather than rely on them for a definitive 
answer, use them to continue learning more about yourself and your 
underlying motivations. If they present helpful answers, fold that 
knowledge into the larger picture you’re compiling.
5. Explore sectors.
•
Learning more about each sector and its respective goals may help 
you determine where you’d be a strong fit. Think about which goals 
sound most interesting to you.

6. Explore industries.
•
Along with sectors, researching different industries may help you identify a 
few that could be a good fit. Search for established industries to see if any 
seem worth investigating further. (In the US, common industries include 
energy, consumer goods, and media and entertainment.) Make a list of any 
that sound interesting and conduct additional research to find out about 
major roles, career trajectories, and projected growth,
