2 Try arranging some statements in order of how important they are to us. For example，I prefer to follow instructions from others or I value having the freedom to work. Considerthe order in which we’ve placed these statements. The ones that we’ve placed at the top ofour list are most likely the ones that we value the most when thinking about careers.Try to bear values in mind when carrying out our research as they can impact what type ofcareer we might want to pursue.

3 Our personal interests can be a good starting point for reflecting on possible careeroptions. One of the things that the survey we mentioned earlier found was that 40% ofpeople end up leaving their job because they don’t want to regret spending their careerworking in the wrong industry. If we’re able to find a career working in an industry that wehave a genuine passion for， then we’ll get more job satisfaction and will generally behappier with our career choices.

4 Whereas every skill can be developed， most of us have one or two that just seem tocome naturally to us. When it comes to reflecting on our career options， it can help to thinkabout what skills we already have. If we’re good at talking people round， then perhaps acareer in sales or public relations would be good for us. Or if we work well in numbers， thenperhaps we should look at a career in finance or management.

5 Make a list of all the careers that we thought about when reflecting on our options.The next step is to dig a little deeper into each of these career areas and find out whatqualifications and experience we’ll need to gain in order to work in these areas.
