If you currently have a job, you may not be sure if it’s time to make a move to a new career. This brief questionnaire will help you decide if your current job is rewarding. There are no right or wrong answers-just give the response that first comes to mind. Then, rank your score and see the results.

A. You’re on your way to work for another day on the job. How do you feel?

1. Ready to go and excited about my job

2. I wish I had the day off

3. I cannot believe I have to drag myself to this awful place

B. You arrive at work and greet your co-workers. They are:

1. Nice people who I look forward to seeing every day

2. Some of them I like, and others I don’t like

3. It’s very difficult for me to be with these people every day

C. At work, how do you feel about your job requirements?

1. My job is fun and rewarding

2. It’s okay, but sometimes it gets boring

3. I’m so miserable that I could scream

D. When you get your paycheck, you:

1. Are satisfied with how much I’m earning

2. Know that I could be earning more

3. Are discouraged because my pay is low

E. Your personal career skills are:

1. Just about right for my job

2. Could be improved with additional training

3. I feel like I’m falling behind, and I need better skills to get ahead

F. When you see other people get promotions, you:

1. Are very happy for them because they deserve it

2. Worry that I’ll be passed over the next time

3. I’m scared because I know that I don’t have their skills

Okay! Add up your score, then look at the chart below for your ranking:

Total 6-9: You’re satisfied with your current job, but additional training would help you stay on top.

Total 10-13: You have much more career potential, and you should think about career training that will help you get a better job or a promotion.
