Positive Experiences:• What type of working environment/activities did you enjoy?• What things were naturally good at? • For what did you receive positive feedback from others?
Not-so-positive Experiences:• What types of environments, activities did you NOT enjoy?• When did you find yourself watching the clock?• When did you say “never again”
Sample Notes (what I have learned about myself to date):• I prefer working on a team, rather than spending time on my own• I prefer working with numbers/measures rather than concepts or ideas• I prefer a more formal/corporate environment rather than a more
casual/smaller org• I don’t think I want to manage people
