Save All Career Ideas in your Ideas Bank

Ideas Bank can be a simple document or folder (digital or physical) where you list options and ideas without criticism. Or it can be a box where you collect newspaper articles, leaflets,  pictures, business cards etc.

Ideas can be well-defined, like teacher, broad directions as "I want to help people write", or descriptions of work environments  - I want to work in a creative/international/high-tech setting.

They can reflect a specific skill (I want to write) or a dream (I want to work somewhere warm / never shift work again).

Explore different job titles and descriptions, research what people do for a living, and write down anything that resonates with you.

The key is to make all ideas—no matter how wild—visible and recorded. Ideas bank is about brainstorming ideas, not creating a finalized plan.
