One of the things I’ve really enjoyed about my role here at Careers is the intersection of what I enjoy and what I’m experienced in. When these two things overlap, you’re one step closer to career fulfilment. When there’s little to no crossover, you could consider ways to bridge this gap – gaining experience doing something you enjoy, or ruling out things you hate. In my view, there’s really no such thing as ‘bad’ experience if it helps you narrow down your options. I’ve created a simple matrix to help differentiate between these concepts.
