Love Your Career from the Start

Making decisions for your future – a guide for young adults

by Caroline Sandford

How do you figure out what sort of work is right for you?
Do you choose university, find a trade, or get a job?
What subjects do you study to make sure you then find work?
What if you choose a course or job you don’t like?
What if you decide on a line of work that doesn’t exist in five years’ time?

The answers start with first understanding how to make good decisions for yourself.

This practical book for 15-25 year-olds introduces the four key stages involved in making good decisions for your career.

Love Your Career Values Card Sort

Values are the things that are most important to you, developed from your upbringing and solidified over your life. They are often so ingrained in you that you may not be consciously aware of what they are.

Identifying your values is one of the most important aspects to understanding what needs to be part of your future, and will help you to consider what choices will work for you.

This card sort provides a comprehensive list of values to think about what is important not only in work, but also in life.

With this knowledge, you can then figure out what is missing and how to address it, what needs changing to provide what you need, or what option is going to be the best for you to pursue.
