Is What You're Doing Actually Working?! Take the Career Change Quiz
Is your career change strategy setting you up for success…or failure? Take this quick career change quiz to find out.
We all reach a point in our careers where what used to work…just doesn’t anymore.
That’s not a problem. It’s progress. It means your priorities are shifting—and it’s time for your strategy to shift with them.
Too often I see people stay stuck for years—YEARS!—preferring to believe what they want isn’t possible instead of recognizing they simply need a new approach.
Take the quiz below to understand what’s working (and isn’t). 👇

Career Change Quiz: Is What You’re Doing Actually Working?
Rate each on a scale of 1–10 (1 = not at all, 10 = always):
What I’m doing is working
I’m clear about what I truly want
I’m confident that I can find or create it
My actions are aligned with what I want in career and life
I’m consistently talking to people about my #1 career goal
I believe Caroline when she says I don’t have to start over or take a pay cut
I do NOT fear failure, wrong turns, or rejection (if you don’t fear these things, you’re a 10)
Add up your score (max = 70).
What Are the Numbers Telling You?
How'd you do?
Any surprises or contradictions?
What patterns do you see?
If you got 70 out of 70, congratulations! And also, let me know if you'd like to coach me. ;)
If you got less than 50, no worries. Most people score low.
Remember: it’s not you, it’s your strategy.
Because we’ve been taught to go about career change all wrong.
We’re taught to focus first on job postings and job titles—to find a neat little box to fit ourselves into.
But career change ≠ job search. And the traditional job search is biased and broken anyway.
Especially if you’re looking for a career that fits you, job search tactics are not going to get you there.
