Do you want to spend a lot of time outdoors when you’re on the job? Would you mind being constantly on your feet, or would sitting at a desk be more your pace? Are you comfortable interacting with all kinds of different people on a daily basis? Do you like using a computer? Can you handle a moderate volume of paperwork? Can you think quickly and clearly under pressure?

It’s important to know these things about yourself – your preferences, comfort zones and working styles – when considering a career. Knowing these things will give you good insight into how well suited you are for a particular career.
