Developing your own Career Principles

The document outlines a process for creating personal career principles by reflecting on work preferences, organizational types, and global responsibility. It provides a set of sentence starters and an example to help users define their professional boundaries and priorities, such as refusing to work for arms manufacturers or prioritizing environmental sustainability.

• The guide suggests that career principles should be developed after self-assessing three key areas: the nature of the desired work, the type of employer or organization, and the importance of issues of global responsibility.
• To formalize these principles, the document provides specific prompts for users to complete, including statements on what they will and will not do, their primary career priorities, and their areas of responsibility and compromise.
