We’ll use this list in conjunction with the next part of this exer-
cise, which is deciding other important career choice factors,
which I call your satisfiers—that is, the aspects of a job that make it
emotionally appealing.
Below is a list of satisfiers. You may find that many or all of
these things are important to you; however, I’d like you to careful-
ly focus on the meaning of each of these satisfiers and how they will
affect your life both in and out of the work setting.
Each of them may sound appealing; however, in this assign-
ment your task is to reflect on which six are the most important to
you and are the satisfiers that you’d like to have in your next career.

Which of these satisfiers rate as your top six? (Please circle only
your top six satisfiers.)

1. A company that is charitable to the community
2. A job that will accommodate my disability
3. A wide range of benefits and/or perks
4. Ample promotion opportunities
5. Beautiful and pleasing surroundings
6. Challenging responsibilities
7. Easy commute
8. Emotional fulfillment
9. Excitement
10. Flexible hours
11. Extremely high income
12. Friendly and respectful colleagues
13. Independence
