What's Important to You?

Everyone has values. Values are our beliefs and principles about what is really important or worthwhile, and they guide our behaviours and the choices we make throughout life. Our values are influenced by a number of things, such as upbringing, family, home life, culture and education.

The following activity will help you determine some of the work values that are important to you.  Knowing your work values is important, because they will affect the amount of satisfaction and fulfillment you receive from whatever occupation or career you pursue.

Directions:
  1. Enter your name and click the update button.

  2. Click the 5 values (or add your own) that you would most want to be a part of any occupation you choose.

  3. Be as open and as honest as possible.

  4. Click the "proceed" button.

  5. Share your findings with a friend, parent or someone you feel comfortable with. Have them read the How to be Supportive section.
