You are not, therefore, seeking the single ‘right’ job for you; the ideal exists in only the very rarest of cases. Your task is to identify that broad range of jobs in the market place which reasonably fits your criteria.

In other words, the business of career planning is a process in which you will need to keep involved as you gain new skills, have new life experiences, and as your circumstances change.

Try to discuss—with someone who knows you well—just how limiting these factors really are.

How do these affect your career options? 17. My ideal job You should now have a template to use in weighing up broad options, in exploring specific types of work and types of employer.

The exercises are designed to help you to weigh up the pros and cons of these options and to reach a balanced decision on the route you want to take now.
