What do I know about myself?
What are your values?
In any career you develop a set of values around the things you feel passionate about. You will gradually:
- Identify what’s important to you
- Define the industries, companies, professions, jobs that attract you – ones that share your values – values you’d be content to live by
- Clarify the values you want to avoid and types of work associated with them
These are more than just behaviours, they are the profound beliefs that you live by and become known for, and everyone has them! If you take on a job which cuts across your values you will be unhappy and very likely unsuccessful.
Understanding your values will define the type of work you’re most suited to and should seek out, as you have the best chance of being successful.
