frame the conversation around these three areas
When you are interviewing for a job, you will come across as much more grounded and confident (but not arrogant) if you can frame the conversation around these three areas (read below)
Describe your work history through this lens and when you are asked about what you are looking for in a job share your goals for gaining purpose at work.
Describe your work history through this lens and when you are asked about what you are looking for in a job share your goals for gaining purpose at work.
Research has identified that you get purpose at work from three things:
DOING SOMETHING GREATER THAN OURSELVES:
We gain purpose by doing something that feels important. When do you feel at work like you are doing something greater than yourself? What do you need in a job to make this happen daily?
RELATIONSHIPS:
We get purpose from working with people and serving them. What have been the most purpose rich relationships in your career and why? What environment do you need to build those kinds of relationships?
PERSONAL GROWTH:
Finally, we get purpose from stretching and growing. When have you felt the most stretched? In what ways do you want to grow in the next year or two? How can you help other people grow?
