Week #10- What Color Is Your Parachute- Ch. 8

In this chapter of What Color Is Your Parachute, he talks about the self-inventory again. This time he talks about the Flower Exercise. "This self-inventory is a flower with seven petals (including the center)." The first petal is You and People. This is where you describe who you are in terms of the kind of people you prefer to work with and to help. The second one is, You and a Workplace, this is where you describe who you are in terms of you favorite workplace or working conditions. The third one is You and Skills, this is where you describe who you are in terms of what you can do, your favorite skills, these are key to being at your best. The fourth one is, You and Your Purpose in Life. This one you describe who are you in terms of goals or sense of mission and purpose for your life. The fifth one is You and the Knowledge you Already Have, you can describe who you are in terms of what you already know and what your interests are. The sixth on is You and Salary/Responsibility where you can describe who you are in terms of your preferred salary and level of responsibility. The last one is You and Geography, this is where you describe who you are in terms of your preferred surroundings, here or abroad, where you want to live and work for a while.

He also gives a bunch of worksheets that are super helpful for every petal of the flower. They really help you to figure out a bunch of things you wouldn't typically think about yourself, so you can find the best job that fits you and your interests.
