Alright cool so welcome to the side by side here on using the Vista tool for making strategic career
alignment decisions for yourself.
So I'm just going to introduce this tool to you briefly.
So first you're going to look at your values and you'll notice here that our team has put together a
list of values that we accumulated from third party sources and made mutually exclusive and these are
some values that are pretty common to professionals.
So you can choose.
You know some of these to help you fill out that section you're going to start looking at in your interests.
And we have some questions for you to think about here to reflect on what your professional interests
are.
Then you're going to move on to your strengths.
And it's often helpful to maybe even consult with somebody close to you like a good friend a wife a
former boss for a third party opinion on this and thank you come on from the easel community for that
suggestion and then you're going to look at your personal traits specifically these characteristics
that are going to help you understand what kind of work culture is going to be appropriate for you.
And then you're going to basically connect the dots to align what you found out about yourself and then
try to forecast or see what what those connections mean for you in terms of your career alignment.
So let's go ahead and look at an ad an example of a finished Vista exercise here.
So specifically we're going to go through the values so you see this is the one I've done for myself
and I've put together these values.
For me my interests strengths traits and then basically I've connected the dots as you've seen here
with these green connection paths.
So basically when I connect those dots these are the outcomes that I find by basically mashing up those
different thought points in my head and then seeing what that yields for me in terms of where I might
take my career.
So you also have a blank page for you if you want to print this out.
This is something that is actually pretty good to do by hand.
Just because it's easier to connect the dots of course you can do it on your computer if you if you
prefer to do it that way.
But you have all three of these documents as a part of the ease of the Vista tool for you to help yourself
align your next career move.
And you know that's the that's the VST tool there.
And then it's a good thing to do as you really start to reflect on where you're going to take your search.
