Career Pivot

The Pivot Your Career pillar helps you identify meaningful new career possibilities based on the strengths, values, motivations, skills and insights you uncovered in the Expanded Profile section. Instead of guessing or reacting to whatever job ads appear, this pillar guides you through a structured, AI-supported process for exploring new options — from employment roles to start-up ideas — and evaluating how well each one fits the person you are today and the life you want to create next.

A career pivot is not a leap into the unknown. It is a thoughtful exploration rooted in self-understanding. This section helps you broaden your thinking, test different scenarios and narrow your choices with confidence.

This pillar gives you a clear, strategic method for exploring and validating new possibilities for your career.

The exercises you complete here will help you:

Use your Expanded Profile data to brainstorm suitable career paths
Explore both employment and entrepreneurship options
Evaluate job offers and compare future work-life scenarios
Analyse specific employers and identify strong employer–employee fit
Understand how your values, skills and strengths map onto potential opportunities
Make informed choices about which paths to explore and which to set aside

By the end of this section, you’ll have a set of well-researched, personally meaningful career directions — and a clearer sense of where to focus your effort next.

My Career Pivot

The purpose of this exercise is to help brainstorm suitable careers for you, based on the personal values, character strengths, core skills and other results from the exercises in the toolbox.

To complete this exercise, simply review and update your attributes; add new attributes (using the Other Attributes list ); and adjust the filtering as needed. Then use the “Start career brainstorm” button to see you brainstorm results.

My way

This exercise is built on the work you have already done in the My career pivot exercise. In that exercise you may have identified one or several own business opportuities that you would like to explore – well here’s your chance!

The exercise is based on the Business Model Canvas template, created by Alexander Osterwalder and copyrighted by Strategyzer.

Owning a business is a complex blend of rewards and risks. It’s a path that demands resilience, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous learning. Being aware of the potential pitfalls and proactively addressing them can make the journey more manageable. While it’s not an easy road, the personal and professional growth that comes from building your own business is an unparalleled experience that, for me, has been truly transformative.

Employer research

As a stunning 80% of jobs are filled even before being advertised – it makes sense to do whatever you can to turn the tables on convention by proactively seeking out the employers that interest you so you can start to foster a relationship that might lead into your next career.

This exercise serves three purposes:

It uses your strengths, skills, values, contribution , purpose and your cv, to try to identify the best employer/employee fit from the top 200 public and private employers in your geographical area.
It uses AI to help you to gain an in depth understanding of the company, as if you were talking with an employee of the company
It guides you on actions you might take to gain the attention of the company and/or to find suitable jobs there.

This exercise, along with the My career pivot exercise, is designed to help you identify companies that align with your values, strengths, skills and other attributes that you have documented from earlier exercises.

The AI coach plays a key role in helping you to explore how AI can support job seekers in creating impactful resumes, referencing both LinkedIn and the seminal job-hunting guide “What Color Is Your Parachute?” by Richard N. Bolles.
