4. How do I like to be managed? What other characteristics are important in a boss?

Notice that there are no questions about salary requirements in the checklist. For a dream job, a candidate should be open to sacrificing the luxuries of the highest salary grade. The key takeaway: If the top priority when evaluating a job is money, then you have NOT defined your dream job!

    Dream job questions:
    1. If your passions aren't met on your dream job, is it really your dream job?
    2. Your dream industry is the industry that includes your dream job.
    3. It will probably vary by the year or decade. Goals will help determine that.
    4. Goals are needed here too. Long term, intermediate term, and short term.
    5. Only you can answer this. This too will depend on the year or decade of your plan.

    I recommend you figure all this out. If you don't have a pkan, you'll never get there. Or you won't know you have.
