Question 1 of 10

0 answered

How clear are you right now about the direction you want your career to take?

There is no wrong answer here — an honest starting point makes the result useful.

Very clear — I know the direction and the role I wantFairly clear — a couple of options, one feels strongestFoggy — I know what I do not want, not what I doNo idea yet — I feel stuck at the starting line

Answer all ten questions to see your result — it takes about four minutes.

How it works

What the score measures — and what it does not

This is a structured reflection tool, not a psychometric test. It measures how much of the groundwork for a career move is already in place.

Career direction

Start with clarity work: name the two or three career directions worth testing, then design a small, low-risk experiment for each before committing.

Positioning and personal brand

Rebuild your positioning: one sentence for who you help and the outcome you create, then rewrite your résumé and LinkedIn headline around that single story.

Job search strategy

Tighten the search system rather than the effort: a target list of 20 organizations, warm-introduction paths into each, and a weekly rhythm you can sustain.

Confidence and self-advocacy

Practice telling your own results out loud. A short list of achievements with real numbers attached makes interviews and negotiations dramatically easier.

Leadership and influence

Move from doing to influencing: choose one visible problem you can lead, and build the stakeholder map and communication plan around it.

Sustainable pace and priorities

Design a sustainable pace first. Decide the three priorities that matter this quarter and what you will deliberately not take on.

The four result bands

Exploring
Your answers suggest the direction is still unclear and the pressure of not knowing is doing more damage than the decision itself would. The most useful next step is not a bigger job search — it is a structured clarity process that turns a vague dissatisfaction into two or three testable directions.
Shaping
There is real substance in your experience, but it is not being presented or organized around a single direction. This is the stage where positioning, evidence and a deliberate search rhythm produce the fastest change, usually within a few months.
Accelerating
You have momentum: conversations are happening and your experience is strong. What usually unlocks the next level here is sharper targeting, better interview storytelling and stronger negotiation, rather than more applications.
Leading
Your answers show clear direction, solid evidence and healthy confidence. The highest-value work now is usually strategic: choosing which opportunities to decline, building visibility, and leading at a level that matches your experience.

Questions

About the assessment and your data

The Career Self-Assessment

How long does the assessment take?

About four minutes. Ten questions, one screen at a time on mobile, and you can go back and change any answer before you submit.

What do I get at the end?

A readiness score with a written interpretation, the focus area your answers point to most strongly, and a specific recommended next step. If you share your email, we also send the longer version with your answers and the action list, so you can work through it at your own pace.

Do you sell my answers or email to anyone?

No. Your answers and email are stored in our own database so we can send you the result and, if you want it, occasional useful guidance. You can unsubscribe from any email, and you can ask us to delete your data at any time.
