Your Work Values

Job satisfaction comes from having a job that meets your needs and fits your goals. Match Your Work Values to Occupations (pdf) includes things people often want or value in their job. Not all these values will be met each day. However, choose an occupation that meets most of your work values and you are more likely to enjoy your job. You will also be more motivated to succeed.

You can also use the Work Importance Profiler provided on the California CareerZone website. You can explore occupations that match your work values and list them on Occupations that Match Your Values (pdf).
