Quiz: Are You in the Right Career?
By Dale Kurow, Career Coach
Are you wondering if you are in the right job or career? Nothing is more draining or less motivating than staying in a position because of inertia or fear of the unknown.
Wouldn’t it be better to find out and decide whether or not to take action? Then you can plan what steps you need to undertake before you start your job search efforts.
The career quiz below will help you judge whether your career is on track. Answer yes or no to the following questions. Each yes answer counts as one point. Compare your point total to the scoring key at the bottom.
1. I look forward to going to work.
Depends on what I'm doing.
2. I talk about my work in a positive way.
Depends on what I'm doing.
3. I have mentored a junior colleague or want to.
I neither ever have, nor do I have the desire to do so.
4. I don’t fear layoff or termination, as I have a portfolio of skills to draw upon.
I expect layoff or termination as an inevitable, unavoidable part of life.
5. I know how to network and market myself to my best advantage.
I try to do so, although to do a better job of this would involve more money than I do have.
6. People seek me out to ask career advice.
Never.
7. I've achieved a good balance in my life between work and play.
I've found this almost impossible to achieve.
8. Money is not the driving force in deciding my next career move.
Oh yes it is--almost always, anyhow.
9. I am learning from, and enjoy working with, my team or co-workers.
10. If self-employed, I have a network of professionals who I can turn to for advice and encouragement.
Depends on what I'm doing.
11. I feel excited about my upcoming projects, as they engage me creatively.
Not really, as so many of my past projects did not engage me creatively whatsoever.
12. When I face a setback at work, I am able to recover quickly as I have a reserve of energy and self-confidence.
No, as I've lost my nerve.
13. I am self-motivated and generate much of my “to do” list at work.
No, as I almost always feel like I'm in the dark about what needs to be done.
14. I have a well-written, up-to-date résumé.
Depends on what I'm doing.
15. I feel positive about my future job prospects.
Not at all.

No, not at all.
17. I know where I’d like to be in one year.
No, not at all.
18. I’m being compensated fairly.
I don't believe so at all--no.
19. I respect my boss.
20. I am able to work productively with my co-workers (or clients), even those who are difficult.
21. I know how to deal effectively with office politics.
22. I have the training I need to do my job well.
23. My boss is supportive and has provided me with opportunities to learn and grow.
24. I’m working with a company (or client) that has integrity.
25. I attend professional/trade association meetings to stay up-to-date in my field.
Scoring Key:
21-25 Points
Wow. Congratulations, you love your work! Never stop improving. Consider taking a seminar or learning a new language.
16-20 Points
You’re doing well; this is a very good score. Speak with your boss about new opportunities or challenges you might undertake.
11-15 Points
You’re doing okay, but there’s room for improvement. Join a professional organization to grow your network and get information about other opportunities that may exist in your industry.
6-10 Points
Yes, there’s work to do. Tap into your network of colleagues and friends to discuss other career areas of interest. Seek out a mentor to get support and a broader perspective.
0-5 Points
You are not alone. It takes time and desire to find the right livelihood. Use this quiz as a starting point to pinpoint the changes you want to make. Consider taking a career assessment and/or working with a career coach to help you clarify your career goals. Know that many have successfully transitioned to careers and jobs they love.

Maybe you should just focus on work, get a promotion, and move on to a more exciting job.

think about promotion and your strategies to one day be the superior of all your other workmates- it's like day dreaming but you're focused at the same time- it works for me!
