Another back-story exercise for fiction writers today.
Write a report showing your character’s career path to date - from the time he/she left school until the present moment. Does the report show your character to have followed a sound career path, or have they gone from one job to the next with more thought to paying the bills than progressing professionally up any particular career ladder. What aspirations do they have for the future in this area of their life?

Should your main character be a child, consider what professional ambitions the child holds now, and whether or not they are influenced by close family members.
