Guides
Two practical guides for the two questions people most often bring to this site. They are frameworks for thinking, not career advice.
Changing careers without starting from zero
What transfers and what doesn't, the adjacency idea applied to a real move, and how to test a direction before committing to it.
How to choose when everything is open
Why 'follow your passion' fails as instruction, and how to treat preference, constraint and opportunity as three separate questions.
Holland Code and RIASEC, explained
Six interest types, one three-letter code, where to take a free one, and how it maps onto the board here.
What should I do with my life?
Three questions wearing one coat — preference, constraint and opportunity — and why to answer them separately.
What am I good at?
Why no quiz can tell you, what actually establishes ability, and why it is a different question from what you want.
The Myers-Briggs career test, honestly
What MBTI measures, why it is contested for career use, and what the free online versions actually are.
Truity career quiz, explained
How the free-result-paid-report model works, what to check before paying, and the free alternatives.
