Using the insights from the previous exercise, you will create 3 different “versions of you”, each representing a realistic but distinct career direction that aligns with your core capabilities and emerging ideas from your research.
The purpose is not to choose the “perfect” path, but to explore different possibilities so you can better understand what resonates most strongly with you.
3 versions of you
- Ideate 3 different pathways that could suit you. Each should be grounded in your:
- Skills and experiences
- Interests and motivations
- Career and lifestyle aspirations
These might be different themes or directions (e.g. people-focused, technical, creative, structured, independent).
2. For each version, briefly note:
- What this career direction looks like
- Key skills you would use
- What you would enjoy about it
- How your current experience connects
- What you would need to learn or develop
3. Reflect and compare:
- Which version feels most energising?
- Which feels most realistic right now?
- What patterns or common skills appear across all 3?
