QUESTION 15 OF 35

If you could start your career over again, what direction would you take?

A hiring manager can tell a lot about your personality by learning about your other career interests. Even if you did not pursue the answer you name, you may share your interest with your superior or coworkers, creating a bond. If you could do anything over, what would you do, and why?

"I do not regret the direction I have taken my career; however, if I had to start over in a new direction, I would likely pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering and become an Engineer. Both of my parents were Engineers and seemed to have very fulfilling careers. I enjoy analytics and research, which I tend to incorporate into my role as an educator."

"I am very satisfied with the direction my career has taken. If I could change anything, I would perhaps have furthered my education to include a Master's degree."

Anonymous Answer

I'm absolutely happy with the direction that my career has taken, but in another lifetime, I think I would definitely become a professional rugby player. I grew up playing rugby right up until my first year of varsity. I got injured petty badly and couldn't continue playing professionally, but I still do play. I love being active and challenging myself physically and mentally.

Rachelle's Feedback

Unique approach - this answer is memorable. Rugby is a tough sport, and the fact that you would choose the life of a pro athlete shows that you are unafraid of challenge, discipline, and focus.
