Decision Making Worksheet

For each occupation you’re considering, you’ll want to look at it in the context of what’s important to you personally. Here’s an example of the kinds of things you may want to consider. The Decision-Making Worksheets on the next pages will help you.

Use the occupations that had the highest ratings from your Section 2 research.

This worksheet will help you to decide which among these options is likely going to be the best fit for you. Remember, as much as making a decision for a career is important, if you make the wrong choice initially, it’s not fatal. Keep in mind that the choice you are making now doesn’t have to be perfect. It is the best you can make based on what you know about yourself and the labour market at this moment.

The information you researched in Section 2 has provided you with a good foundation of information, but there are other personal factors you can now add to help you make your decision. Complete this worksheet and then consider how your answers may help you decide between the 3 occupations you chose.

Looking at your worksheets, think about how the 3 occupations you’re considering “fit” with your own personal preferences. With all the information you’ve gathered so far, you may be ready now to narrow down to one occupation (at least for now) that you want to pursue.
