Career clarity worksheet
A plain page to think with when you are weighing whether to stay, switch, or start over. It costs nothing, asks for no email, and nothing you write here is sent anywhere. Use it on screen, or print it and write on it.
To print, use your browser’s Print option. The page prints as a simple worksheet.
1. Where I am now
Rough notes are perfect. There are no wrong answers.
What is on my mind about my work, in one sentence?
What is going well at the moment, and what is not?
When did I last feel properly energised at work?
2. What matters to me
Think about energy, values, flexibility, money, people, and what is non-negotiable.
Three things I want more of in my work
Three things I want less of
Constraints I need to respect (family, money, location, timing)
3. My options
Include staying where you are as a real option. For each one, write what would need to be true for it to be a good choice.
Stay where I am, as it is
Stay, but change something (role, team, hours, scope)
Switch to a new role or employer
Start over in a new field
4. Small, low-risk tests
Pick one or two things you could try in the next two weeks, such as a conversation, a short project, or reading a job ad properly.
Test 1: what I will try, and by when
Test 2: what I will try, and by when
5. Questions to bring to an Intro chat
Optional. You can also bring notes from an AI chat, as a starting point and not a verdict.
The question I most want help with
What would make a conversation worthwhile for me?
A plain note: career clarity is career guidance and decision support. It is not therapy or mental health treatment. If you are finding things hard, please talk to your GP or another health professional. In an emergency call 000, and for support at any hour you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
