Charting Your Career: Stage 3
Goal: Prioritize your Personal Objectives.
Approach: Categorize Personal Objectives as “Absolute Requirements” and “Desirable Elements.”

Next, classify each Personal Objective in relation to their importance to you, using two categories: "Absolute Requirements" and "Desirable Elements."

For example, if one of your Personal Objectives is, "Minimum $62,000 in compensation," then determine whether you would reject an offer of $61,500. If so, then $62,000 in compensation is an "Absolute Requirement.”

Enter the objectives onto the Stage Three section blanks on your CareerCHART model worksheet (407k pdf). At the conclusion of this exercise, you will have two groupings of objectives: your Absolute Requirements and your Desirable Elements.
