Values may evolve over time. When you start your first job, it is likely that good pay and benefits will
be high on the list of work values. As time progresses, the opportunity to gain recognition for your accomplishments, or to work on creative projects, may become more important. Frequently, a personal change of
circumstances will affect values; women often are challenged by this and must work to reach balance in
personal and work values.
Clearly the values you hold will have a direct relationship to the type of work that you will find satisfying, the environment that is best for you, and the type of people with whom you will spend most of your
waking hours. So knowing your values becomes an essential element for your profile. Knowing yourself
will allow you to seek opportunities that will fulfill you most effectively, and enable you to do your best.
