Are you Living to Work? – Part 5
The pros and cons of your scenarios
Create two lists: The things you like about work; the things you don’t like about work. You may well find one list is longer than the other but some of the issues are of a much greater magnitude than others. These will help you assess the nature of work you should be looking for and jobs to avoid.
Once you have the list, highlight the factors which matter most.
From the list of negatives, which are the red lines, the issues which MUST NOT be in any subsequent jobs. These need to be the points upon which you will not compromise.
Now, from the list of positives, which are the gold lines, the issues which MUST be in any subsequent jobs? Are they absolute, how far would you drift away from them?
These lists may not yet be pointing to a particular career, job, business option or organisation but they should frame your thinking, research and creation of options.
