Do you want to know what makes you happy or unhappy in your work and career? Explore your work values and determine which ones are truly important to you.
This will help you find what truly resonates with you. It will also help you better demonstrate your enthusiasm for certain topics, for example, when you're talking to an employer. And enthusiasm is contagious.
You can take a work values test on Career Zone. It examines 14 work values that can be considered fundamental. When you have a job that adequately reflects the work values you consider important, you're more likely to be successful and happy in your work.
The work values being tested are:
- Altruism
- Variety
- Autonomy
- Self-development
- Work-life balance
- Relationships at work
- Creativity
- Assurance
- Financial reward
- Prestige
- Working Conditions
- Performance
- Structure
- Influence
