Use Your Personal Values to Find the Right Job | JSG
About this session
This Job Strategy Group session focuses on using personal values as a tool for career decision-making and job search direction.
Many job seekers focus only on titles, pay, or qualifications, but values also play an important role in long-term job fit. Understanding what matters most to you can help you make more intentional choices, ask better questions, and recognize opportunities that align with your goals.
You will explore how to:
• Identify values that matter in your work life
• Connect personal values to job search priorities
• Recognize signs of better-fit opportunities
• Ask questions that reveal workplace culture and expectations
• Make decisions with greater clarity and confidence
This session is designed to help job seekers think beyond “getting a job” and move toward finding work that fits.
What to expect
• A brief, low-pressure networking activity at the beginning
• Guided reflection and discussion
• Practical examples of values-based job search decisions
• Group discussion and Q&A
