What Color Is Your Parachute - Finding Your Passion

When I originally read chapter 2, I passed on by this chart, but on re-reading, I think it is worth printing out, and using as a guide, as a reminder, as accountability for action.

For example, as part of a daily routine, if I'm serious about finding fulfilling work, I think i need to be willing to "pause to think daily about what we have done or seen", because at least part of me fits into the "intuition" category.

The context of the chart is where the chapter is suggesting that the reader might fall into one of three categories, in terms of how you go about life; and in turn, there's the suggestion that how you go about life is typically how you go about the job search. So there are some concrete suggestions in addition to the chart, which are matched to each "type": luck, step by step, intuition.
