Determining your interests can be the hardest part of traveling down your career path. Where should you start? How do you know if you’d like performing a certain task? Here are a few tips.

Think about what you like to do. If you’re struggling, ask yourself, “Who would I like to job shadow for a day and why?” Or, “If I had to go back to school tomorrow, what would I want to study?” Self-knowledge takes time and doesn’t happen overnight, so periodically check to see if your answers change.

Know your greatest talents. Ask your manager and co-workers what they think your strengths are and why. Do you agree? You’ll want to be able to speak with confidence about what you can offer to the position if granted an interview.

Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Sometimes you might find your passion hiding there. If there’s a job or department you find interesting, reach out to associates in that area and find out what qualifications and experience you need to be qualified for the job you want to land.
