A practical decision worksheet

  1. Work: What tasks occupy a normal week, including the less attractive ones?
  2. Access: Which qualifications, location and financial resources would you need?
  3. Evidence: What have you actually enjoyed doing, rather than imagining?
  4. Constraints: Consider working hours, responsibilities and local opportunities.
  5. Experiment: Try a small project, informational interview or supervised experience before committing.

Where personality fits

A preference for quiet concentration may suggest asking about interruptions. Enjoying cooperation may suggest investigating team culture. Neither tells you that you can or cannot do a job. Skills develop, and two employers can offer very different versions of the same role.
