Question number/12

If a close friend asks, “So, what’s new with work?” how do you respond?

Even though you know most people don’t have everything figured out, you feel good about where you’re headed. You share what’s next and might even offer advice if your friend seems curious.

You throw out some general comments—nothing too deep. People act like they have it all figured out, but you think careers are unpredictable. You casually move the conversation to something else. The future belongs to the future, you think.

You give a general answer—not too much detail because you’re still piecing things together. You have some ideas, and maybe this conversation could spark something useful.

Question number/12

When you think about your career challenges and future, which of these feels most like you?

You have some clarity on what excites you and what you want to improve, but some parts of the puzzle still feel unclear. You’d love to connect the dots more before saying you have a real “vision.”

If someone asked about your career path, you’d probably say something that sounds reasonable, but deep down, you feel like you’re just figuring things out as you go. Things change too fast to have a solid long-term plan, anyway.

You’ve done the thinking, faced the challenges, and can confidently talk about where you are and where you’re headed. You’re not saying everything is easy, but you see the path clearly.

Question number/12

How do you feel when you think about the number of career possibilities ahead?

So many paths and so many options—it’s almost easier not to decide. You sometimes wish someone would just tell you which way to go, but at the same time, you’re not sure if you’d even listen.

Options are great, but they don’t overwhelm you. You know what matters to you and how to filter out the noise. You might ask for advice, but you trust yourself to make the final call.

You see multiple possibilities and can narrow them down, but there’s still a nagging feeling that you could be missing something. You wouldn’t mind an outside perspective to sharpen your direction.

Question number/12

When it comes to new career or business opportunities, which of these sounds most like you?

You’ve taken some steps—a few conversations, some research, maybe even small moves toward change—but you’re still feeling things out before making any big decisions.

You often think about what’s next, maybe even browse opportunities, but most of the time, the idea of starting something new feels like a “later” problem rather than something urgent.

You’re in motion—meeting new people, testing ideas, and putting things into action. It’s not just about thinking; you’re actively shaping your next move.

Question number/12

How do you tend to approach career shifts and professional change?

Change doesn’t scare you—you’ve learned to move fast, adapt, and take risks when the situation calls for it. Even if things don’t go as planned, you trust yourself to figure it out.

Change is interesting to think about, but you often find yourself waiting for the right moment rather than diving in. If a big shift happens, it’s usually because circumstances push you there.

You’ve made some moves—maybe small, maybe big—but you’re still adjusting to what change means for you. You’re open to risk but only when it feels manageable.

Question number/12

When was the last time you did something professionally that made you feel truly uncomfortable—but in a good way?

You can’t really remember—it’s been a while since you took on something that really pushed you beyond what you already know. You tend to stick with what you’re good at rather than chase uncertainty.

You’ve had moments where you stretched beyond your usual space—maybe you said yes to something intimidating or took a leap—but it’s not a constant habit. You push yourself when necessary but prefer some stability.

You actively seek out situations that challenge you. It’s not always easy, but you know that discomfort is part of growing, and you’ve trained yourself to embrace it.

Question number/12

How do you approach your next professional step?

You’ve thought about your next moves and have some structure—a few goals, some milestones—but it’s more of a flexible outline than a step-by-step plan.

You have ideas, maybe even strong ones, but they mostly live in your head. You trust that things will unfold as they should, even if you haven’t mapped out a clear plan.

You’ve put serious thought into it—you know what needs to happen next and have a concrete plan with clear actions that you’re actively working on.

Question number/12

When faced with an important decision about your career, what’s your typical process?

You trust your instincts—you gather the key information, but at some point, you just make the move. Overthinking doesn’t get you anywhere.

You think about it a lot—turning it over from different angles, considering every possible outcome. By the time you feel ready, the decision might have already made itself.

You do your research, weigh options, and seek input when needed. You don’t rush, but you also don’t let decisions linger for too long.

Question number/12

When you look back at your career decisions, how do you feel about them?

Some decisions have been tough, but you’ve learned to trust yourself more over time. You still weigh your options carefully, but you don’t dwell too much on what-ifs.

You sometimes wonder if you made the right choices. It’s hard to know if you could have done better, and you occasionally second-guess your past moves.

You feel solid about your decisions, even when they don’t go as planned. You trust your instincts and don’t waste time overthinking past choices.

Question number/12

When you think about what’s slowing down your career progress, what resonates most?

You don’t feel like obstacles hold you back significantly. Even when things aren’t fully clear, you keep moving forward and adjusting as needed.

You sometimes feel like you’re waiting for a big realization or sense of direction before taking the next step. You’re moving, but not always sure if it’s the right move.

It’s not so much about clarity—you generally know what you want, but external factors (timing, finances, people, etc.) create roadblocks that slow you down.

Question number/12

When you’re about to take a big professional step, what’s the inner dialogue that plays in your head?

“I know I can do this, but what if people expect more than I can deliver?” You take action, but there’s always a little voice questioning whether you truly belong at the next level.

“What if I’m not ready?” You sometimes wonder if you have what it takes, and that uncertainty can make you hesitate before moving forward.

“Let’s go. If I don’t know everything, I’ll figure it out.” You might feel some nerves, but self-doubt doesn’t stop you from making the move.

Question number/12

When you think about your professional ambitions and personal fulfillment, which feels most true?

“I’ve found moments of balance, but it’s a constant negotiation.” Sometimes, I prioritize work. Other times, I focus on my personal life. It’s not always perfect, but I adjust as needed.

“I try to balance both, but work often takes over.” I tell myself I’ll make more space for personal fulfillment someday, but right now, my career demands most of my time and energy.

“I’ve designed my career in a way that aligns with my personal fulfillment.” I don’t see them as separate—I’ve built a way of working that supports both.
