"Before you chase a new path, take time to understand where you’ve been and where you truly want to go."

In a job search, it’s easy to feel like you need to keep moving—applying, networking, interviewing. But sometimes, the most powerful step you can take is to pause.

Reflection is how you create intention in your career path. It helps you understand what energizes you, what drains you, and what truly matters to you going forward. Instead of jumping into the next opportunity, take a moment to ask:

❓What parts of my previous roles made me feel fulfilled?

❓Where did I feel out of alignment with my values?

❓What goals have I been too busy to prioritize?

Your values and goals aren’t just buzzwords—they’re the compass that keeps you grounded in your search. When you reflect first, you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
