Know yourself
You need to take so many different things into account when making a career decision.
- Skills and aptitudes
- Qualifications and achievements
- Interests
- Personal qualities
- Personal circumstances
- Health
Some of these will be more important to you than others; some you can change and others you can't.
Remember, your interests, skills and ambitions may change as fast as the world around you. From time to time, you need to take stock of what you know about yourself and look at just how much you have changed as a person.
Although you may not find the perfect job, one where you only do things you like and don't have to do anything you dislike, there are jobs which will really suit you.
To find these, you need to keep an open mind.
Think about what motivates you. What are your priorities: job satisfaction, money, terms and conditions, family, status?
How will these affect your career choice?
