I could do that kind of work all day if needed." What level of education are you up for in your job? "I’m a sponge. I can devour instruction manuals for breakfast!" "I love education more than most. Check out the degrees all over my walls." "I’m open and really enjoy learning new things." "Give me some training, but I'd still rather pursue my own study course." "I’m fortunate to have graduated high school!" How strong are your technical skills? "I'm beyond technical. I design whole systems and networks in my sleep." "I’m the biggest computer geek in my circle of friends." "I build tech stuff just for fun." "I’m more creative, but can work with technology just fine." "Technical? I’m still trying to learn how to use my flip phone!" How much freedom do you prefer to have in your career? "I must be unhindered to fly with the wind.” "I’ll blaze the trail while you follow.” "I’ll stay within the specifications of what the customer wants, but that’s it." "I like to solve my own problems within a very narrow scope." "Freedom scares me. Just give me a small safe zone." How long do you want to stay in your position? "I want to get it just right the first time, thank you." "I'm here for the long-term. I’d rather have a career, than a handful of short jobs." "I definitely prefer a variety of short-term jobs or projects." "I like short-term commitments. maybe a year here, a year there." "I’m a freelancer. I’ll take the jobs as they come." How much do you want to make? "I want to climb the ladder to the top and make the money that comes with it." "I’m looking for a high salary." "I want to be comfortable with potential to make it bigger." "Not too concerned. As long as I can pay my bills." "Whatever. I’ll make a buck here and there from my side jobs." How much flexibility do you need in a career? "Give me chaos! I love surprising new challenges." "I need an industry disruption every 5 years or so just to keep it interesting." "Nice and steady, with an occasional bump in the road is OK." "I prefer my field to be consistent year-in year-out." "On this solid rock I’ll stand, thanks." How much would you be willing to travel? Wherever the work calls, I will go. I'm a true road warrior. I enjoy the adventure of frequent travel. I'm glad to hit the road every now and then. I'm happy here, but don't mind attending the occasional conference. Here I shall stay! Which word best describes you?
