Refine your career vision: What are the values that will drive your job search?

  • Justice and meaningful work

What are your goals for your job search?

  • My goal is to find a comapny that is my dream company I can work toward. I know as a jr I may not love my company but I want it to be a good building block for my future career.

What kind of role do you see yourself pursuing in your job search?

  • At this point I am not sure.

Based on your latest version of your career vision, list the top 3-5 industries and companies you’ll pursue in your job search as of right now. Why did you pick these industries/companies?

  • aerospace I think this will be a big industry in 5 years and would love to get in early
  • Cars, with the boom in electric cars I think I could really contribute to the path this industry is taking.
  • Education, with starlink I think that remote education is going to be advancing and would be intresting to work in.

How do they relate to the values and goals you have for yourself in your job search?

All three seem like they will be meaningful and I could make an impact.

Ian’s workshop this week is designed to help you break down your interest in specific industries even further by exploring their tech stacks to decide if you want to utilize any of their tools in upcoming projects. Make a copy of his template here and post a link to your copy here to show what research you’ve completed. You can also link this research to your Huntr board.
