Chart Your Options
If you are uncertain about your next step, but you have 5-6 job possibilities in your mind, chart out these options and ask:
- How interesting would it be? Use a 1 to 10 scale to rank it.

- How much do you actually know about this as a career? How deep is your knowledge?
Add up the points and see where each job falls on the chart.
