SCORING:
1-3 "Yes" answers: It's time to make a career change now. There are too many career opportunities available to sit in a job that does not drive your passion and appreciate your value.
4-8 "Yes" answers: You seem to be in a career situation that is not the best suited for you. Overall, you may be able to perform the job at a satisfactory or successful level, but you are feeling unfulfilled in your current position. Maybe it's stressful relationships with a manager or co-workers, or perhaps it's job responsibilities that do not utilize your talents and strengths. Making a career change into an industry that excites you, drives your passion and challenges you in a positive way should be your primary focus. It's time to develop an exit strategy and make a career plan to get you where you want to be.
9-12 "Yes" answers: Congratulations! You seem to be in a career that showcases your talents and strengths, and you are valued by management and co-workers. You are probably successful in your position, but if you still are not quite where you want to be - perhaps a higher management level, or want to change industries and go in a new direction - you may still want to contact a Career Coach
