Career Edition
Get clear on what you need from work
Whether a job feels right isn’t just about the title or the paycheck. It’s about whether your work lines up with what you value. The Career Edition helps you put words to those values, so you can make career decisions with more clarity.
A general values sort asks, “What matters to me?” The Career Edition asks a narrower question: “What matters to me at work?” Every value in the deck is about work and career, so your results translate directly into what to look for, ask for, and weigh in a job.
Sort each value by how important it is to you at work, then narrow it down to your top five. Use them to compare job offers, explain what you need from a role, or understand why something feels off.
- 57 career valuesThe values that shape your work and professional life.
- 3 sorting cardsSort each value by how much it matters to you at work.
- Instruction pamphletEverything you need to do your first sort.

Ways to use it
Practical questions it helps answer
Is my current job a good fit?
Sort with your current role in mind to see which of your career values it supports and which it doesn’t.
Why does work feel off?
Pinpoint which values your role isn’t meeting, so dissatisfaction or burnout becomes something specific you can address.
Which opportunity should I take?
Weigh two offers, roles, or paths against the same set of values, so the tradeoffs are visible before you choose.
What do I need in my next role?
Name what you’re looking for before you start applying, and use it to screen jobs and prepare questions for interviews.
Am I ready for a transition?
Changing fields, returning to work, or finishing school? Sort out which values carry over and what needs to change.
How do I explain what I need?
Walk into a review, interview, or career conversation able to say what you need and what you bring.
