Assessing Your Wants And Needs
Evaluation

apply the results to your job hunt.

preliminary questions to get a feel for your
ideal direction.
• y Where do you see yourself in 5, 10 or
even 20 years?
• y Where do you want to be living?
England? Australia? Barbados?
• y Do you want to own your own house?
Do you want a more expensive house?
• y Do you want to be a senior manager,
Director or CEO?
• y Do you want to be a specialist?
• y When do you want to retire?
This is a process that requires thought, introspection and some time for reflection (hence the
clarification of financial issues first).
The results will give you an insight into the aspirations and motivators driving your job
hunt which, in turn, will drive the practical targets and plans you set in order to make those
aspirations a reality.
