Asking about career decisions
Bring your options and ambitions into the conversation.
STEP 1
Name the choice in front of you
Describe the specific decision: accepting an offer, changing fields, starting a business, or staying put. A concrete choice with a timeline gives the conversation something to work with.
STEP 2
Share your experience and circumstances
List your qualifications, experience, finances, family responsibilities, and location limits. Traditional career indications are discussed in light of what you can realistically do, not as a replacement for training, networking, or saving.
STEP 3
Leave with next actions
Before the session ends, ask what you might try, test, or prepare in the coming months. A useful consultation ends with steps you can take, whatever the planets are said to indicate.
If you are between two offers, bring the key terms of each. Comparing concrete options is more productive than asking which field suits you in general.
