- How much do you know about other options?
- What do you find fulfilling in your current work?
- What do you find unfulfilling or frustrating?
- Do you have talents you’re not currently using, but would like to?
- What, realistically, will you need to do in order to maximise your chances of succeeding in your current career?
- Are you good enough?
- What practical considerations must you keep in mind?
