What was the environment like?
What was the focus or purpose of the accomplishment?

- You make all the money you need to be completely happy.
- Each job has equal prestige.

Career Task List
Take a piece of paper and make 3 columns... You can also open a Doc or Spreadsheet
Column 1: List every job you've held (just job titles/company names) in your career.
Column 2: List in great detail every task you did at each position.
Column 3: Go thru with a highlighter and highlight each task you enjoyed.
With a different color, highlight those tasks you disliked.
Step back and look for common themes where you've been passionate and where you have excelled.
