Navigating your career path can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially with so many external influences—whether from family, friends, or societal expectations.

But this is a deeply personal journey. Before diving into industry research, it’s essential to first identify what matters most to you in your career.

Use this Priorities Worksheet to help think about what drives you—whether it’s Work Culture, Company Size, Location, Job Role, Compensation, Work Schedule Flexibility, Career Growth, or Daily Responsibilities.

To help you clarify what’s most important to you, we encourage you to explore our Values Exercise, which will guide you in identifying your core values and how they fit with your ideal work environment.

Additionally, the NCA offers guidance and access to various assessments to help you discover career opportunities suited to your personality, interests, values, and skills.

If you’d like more guidance or want to discuss these exercises, schedule an appointment with an EPICS career advisor.
