A few weeks ago I was on a call with one of my current clients, Danielle, who’s actively looking for new jobs so that she can finally get out of a job that’s been draining her for a long time.
Like a lot of people in her situation, Danielle is a little worried that she’s going to lose sight of what matters – that she’ll be perusing job postings and get confused about what makes sense for her and what doesn’t, or that she’ll end up in an interview and get dazzled by talk, but won’t recognize a truly bad fit.
So, to help her stay calm, confident, and focused on what she wants – a job that’s going to be a great fit for her Passion Profile, which is Thriver – we came up with a few filter questions she can ask herself as she considers any new possibility.
It was so helpful for her that I decided everyone could use a list like hers … so, that’s what Kristen and I came up with!
In this month’s brand-new Side Chat, we share the top 3 questions you should ask yourself, according to your Passion Profile, when looking for a new job (or even when you’re hoping to improve the job you already have).
Here’s a sneak peek of a few of the questions we came up with:
- How bought into the mission of this company/role do I feel?
- How much of an impact will this job allow me to have?
- What is going to support my ideal lifestyle?
- How open is the work culture to new ideas?
Listen in to the episode to find out which Profile the questions above are paired with, and to hear the full list of filter questions!

As if I needed additional evidence of how misaligned my position is with who I am lol. I’m a thriver in a collaborator position, and Rachel knows I’ve tried just about everything to make it work for me. Listening to this finally made me see that it’s just not going to happen. There needs to be an end, and I need to finally find something that doesn’t drain me and allows me to live. I think I was holding out hope that somehow it would get better because I do make an impact and I am great at what I do, but it just is not good for me. Thank you for all that you do.
I’m glad this helped give you some tough-but-true insights, Natalie!
