What are the four most important priorities in your life?
On my top list of priorities, is get a job opportunity that is passionate about. In this case, I
hope to get a job in the sports and recreation management industry. Secondly, I hope to get a
comfortable salary. By which I mean a salary within which I will be able to pay my bills, live
comfortably and support my family with it.Thirdly, I hope to get a job that adds value to the
livelihoods of my clients. Fourthly, I had the hopes of doing a job with flexible working hours. I
would like an employment opportunity that allows me to do other things during the course of the
week. I prefer an employment opportunity that allows me to do personal activities that am
passionate about during my spare time. Also, flexible working hours will allow me to spend time
with my family.
How would you rank them
and why?
Based on my four priorities, I would rank financial security first. This is priority number
two. This is because with a comfortable salary I will be able to take care of my financial needs
and those of my family. Without financial security, my economic standards in life will not
improve. Secondly, I would prioritize whether am passionate about the job or not. This is
because of the lack of passion in what I do for a living will determine my happiness and mental
wellbeing which is important to me. Thirdly, I would prioritize client satisfaction. This is
because I believe in value for money. I would want to add value to the lives of my client through
my work not just because being paid to do it but because am passionate about what I do and care

about my clients. Fourthly, I would prioritize flexible working hours because we all need a break
from what we do at some time. Also, I have other passionate career ventures that I would love to
pursue in my free time.
How do you think that these priorities may affect your career choice?
Owing to the scarcity of employment opportunities, ideal jobs are scarce and as a first-time
consultant, the pay might vary. In this case, comfortable salary might require me to do another
job due to lack of experience, academic or professional qualifications being sought by potential
employer or scarcity of my dream Also, most jobs have inflexible eight to five o’clock hours.
For sports and management careers such as personal trainer might require more odd hours based
on client preferences thus affecting my time flexibility priorities. Additionally, comfortable and
luxurious financial security might require me taking other jobs to supplement a low paying
passionate job that I might get.
Tell me what career you would choose today if salary and required schooling were
not contributing factors in your decision?
I would choose to be a nutritionist for athletes and rich wealth clients.
What would your ideal career position be and how does that career align with your
priorities?
