# 2 What kind of work would I like to do?

Considering your interests, and things that you find appealing or enjoyable, is a good way of thinking about the type of work that you’d like to do. The next activity will help you to do this.

### Comment

What did you think of the results? Did you agree with your personality type? Were you surprised at some of the occupations that were suggested – or about others that weren’t? You will probably have a bit of experience or knowledge of some of the occupations listed, but try to imagine whether or not you’d like doing the others that you are not so familiar with. It’s not a question of your ability or qualifications at this stage – only your own preferences – so assume that you could do the job if you really wanted to. Make a note of any occupations that you found particularly appealing.
