Exploring Values Thought Exercise/Worksheet

Values-based career decision making helps you to align your work (or your internship/job search) with what matters most to you. This worksheet is one tool to help inspire your thinking around your personal and professional values, and is an incredibly useful tool when beginning career exploration, making academic decisions and commitments, engaging in career advising appointments and finally in making decisions around internships and job opportunities to pursue and ultimately accept.

Identifying and following your career interests through a values-based lens has great potential to lead you to a more sustainable, longer-term level of career satisfaction that would otherwise be left to chance.
