1	INSTRUCTIONS: PLEASE COPY THIS TAB TO A SEPARATE GOOGLE SHEET. This template is your north star to identifying, landing, and thriving in your ideal next career role. It's a framework I've used since graduating from college and helped land dream jobs at the NBA, CBS Interactive, Lucid Software, and my own startup. This worksheet will help you identify the TOP 5 most important things you're looking for in your next role, and help you filter out the roles that won't fit what you're looking for. FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS (ONCE YOU'VE COPIED THIS TAB TO A SEPARATE WORKSHEET AND CAN EDIT) 1) Fill out columns A-E (and please keep it to 5 or fewer role benefits) 2) Copy the tab for each new role you're considering, and then fill in column F 3) Compare each job's final score and gut check with yourself whether the scores match up with how you feel about each role IF HELPFUL, take a look at how I've used this template for my own career HERE.
