It should take you an hour or so to complete. Use scrap paper to list and brainstorm some of your answers.

    (Consider salary/bonus/commission, benefits, hours, commute, type of work, level/grade)

 

WANTS

    (Consider type of boss, working conditions, office space, and responsibility/authority)

 

 


GIVE

  • What do you offer this company that other competitors for this job don't?
    (Be honest about your qualities---your competitors know and publicize their worth!)

 

 

 TAKE

LIKES

    Think about the days when time flew by, or when you felt great after completing something, or when someone complimented you.

 

 

 

 

DISLIKES

  • What are some of your least favorite things to do at work? Why is that?
    (Consider writing reports, giving presentations, talking to customers, working on teams, juggling many tasks, doing the same thing day after day, supervising others, working independently, training others, having impossible deadlines, not having any support, having old equipment)
