Welcome to The Bloom Career Decision Making Workbook.

This workbook has been designed to help facilitate a career decision making process.

It is designed to be used in conjunction with my other tools and materials.

There's an intructions page and an example page so I hope it's easy to use.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

In the meantime, good luck!

2. Identify how important each criterion is to you (out of 10) in

this row.

1. Identify your most important criteria here. (Phrase them

positively so that high score = good).

3. Identify the % importance of each criteria.

(Remember, the total sum of your criteria must add up to 100%).

4. Identify each of the options you are considering.

Try to be specific.

5. Score each option by each criterion - based on how likely the option is to provide that

crierion

Note: The total weighted score is here. Your most favoured

option will be at the top after you press the 'Sort Options'

button.

Note: The % weighted score acts as a check to ensure that your criteria are reasonably evenly balanced. If you find very different scores in this

column to your weighted score column, check your criteria and

weightings again.

6. Just be careful of negatively phrased questions and that you aren't giving a higher

score for a negative result!
