Start with what is true right now.
A useful career direction has to fit more than your abilities. It also has to make sense for your location, timing, responsibilities and what you are ready to change.
Career Next Steps™ uses AI to organize your experience, research work possibilities and offer questions for reflection. A human coach does not review each answer. You choose your direction and can correct the analysis, skip optional questions or stop.
Résumé content and answers you provide are sent to our AI provider for this guidance. Please leave out sensitive information you do not need to share. This tool cannot decide credential recognition or guarantee a job. For personal coaching, you can seek a qualified career coach or employment counsellor.
Optional. Choose the main difficulty so we can focus your guidance. You can change this later.
Start with your resume
Optional. If you have a resume, upload it here so Career Next Steps™ can start from work you have already described. You can add volunteering, hobbies, caregiving, projects and other experience on the next screen.
Select Continue to extract experience for you to review. Include paid and unpaid work, projects and qualifications.
What experience do you want to use?
- Select the experience you want Career Next Steps™ to use.
- Leave anything you do not want to use unselected. You do not need to delete it.
- For the experience you carry forward, tell us whether you want more of it, are fine with it, or would prefer less of it.
Rhea's Wisdom
One of Rhealize®'s founders returned to paid work after being a stay-at-home parent for ten years. One of the examples that helped her get a government job came from outside paid employment: she had managed the finances for the house she and her partner built.
Where you gained experience matters less than the evidence of what you have demonstrated you can do.
Experience you can choose from
Select the rows you want to use.
Your resume experience and anything else you add will appear here.
Unpaid experience counts too. Volunteering, caregiving, hobbies, community roles and personal projects can all show work you know how to do.
What do you want to carry forward?
Only the experience you selected appears here. Tell us how you feel about doing more of this kind of work.
Add other experience
Add volunteering, hobbies, caregiving, education, projects, community roles or other work that may not appear on your resume.
Add dates (optional)
What do you want to carry forward?
Select the experience you want Career Next Steps™ to use as it looks for patterns and possible directions. Anything you leave unselected stays in your experience record, but it will not be carried into the next steps.
Rhea's Wisdom
Sometimes it's easier to know what fits by first ruling out what doesn't.
In I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was, Barbara Sher describes an exercise that starts with the worst work environment you can imagine. List what you would dislike about it, then consider what the opposite of each item would look like.
What you don't want can help you see more clearly what you do want.
Let’s look more closely at a few things you want more of.
We’ll show the experience you selected, reflect back what we notice, and let you confirm what fits.
Rhea's Wisdom
One of our founders once facilitated a self-awareness workshop at a company. After the session, an employee from the Finance department said the exercises had helped her realize that accounting wasn't the career she wanted to keep pursuing. What she really wanted to do was work in a bakery.
Sometimes reflection confirms the path you are on. Sometimes it helps you notice that another path fits you better.
Does this reflection sound right?
Which parts would you like more of?
Select one or both.
What needs to be true for work to fit your life?
Choose the conditions that work for you. Flag the things that are non-negotiable. Use the comments box only when the choices do not tell the whole story.
How would you like to earn from your work?
Choose any that interest you. Choose more than one for a combination. Your past work does not decide this for you.
Independent fees are business revenue. Expenses and unpaid time affect what you take home. We will check these separately from employee wages.
Work pattern
Choose any that would work for you.
Where you work
Travel
Pay and stability
Training or transition
Choose any training you would realistically consider.
Your preparation and the responsibility you want next
Check what we found in your résumé. Add anything missing and note whether a qualification is current or in progress.
What were you accountable for? What could you decide yourself? Describe one piece of work from planning through delivery and review. Paid and unpaid examples both count.
Anything else we should know?
Add nuance that the choices above do not capture.
Your recent responsibility and complexity
- Look at the snapshot first, then open More about this direction if you want the detail.
- React to the direction, not to whether you think it is the “right” answer.
- You can explore more than one direction. “Not for me” is useful information too.
Rhea's Wisdom
Sylvia studied Human Resources and started her career in the field, but the work left her with little energy for the art she loved. She changed direction to a calmer government office. Her energy returned, and she now has a successful side business selling her art.
Sometimes fit is also about what you want your work to leave room for.
What your choices may be pointing toward
These are examples of workplaces and types of work where you could use this capability.
If you are currently employed
Where possible, keep your current job while exploring alternatives and looking for another position. Consider your income, wellbeing and circumstances before making a change. Career Next Steps™ offers ideas to investigate; it cannot guarantee a job, income or a successful career transition.
Where could this kind of work lead?
These are occupation ideas and employer settings to investigate, not recommendations. You will see one at a time.
A job title is a search term. The activities behind it help you decide whether the work interests you.
The important question is whether the work inside the occupation fits what you want to carry forward and the conditions that matter to you.
Rhea's Wisdom
Organizations sometimes give roles more expressive titles to show the importance of the work. A receptionist might be called a Director of First Impressions, for example, because greeting customers shapes how people experience the organization.
That can make a role feel more meaningful. It can also make career history harder to interpret. Two people may have done very similar work under very different titles, while two people with the same title may have done very different work.
That is why Career Next Steps™ looks past the title and asks what you were responsible for and what you actually did.
Could this realistically work where you are?
Career Next Steps™ checks current public sources for the possibilities you chose to explore. These are ideas for you to follow up on, not a guarantee of openings or fit.
I once heard about a young man whose job was three hours away from his girlfriend. After months of weekend commuting, he changed jobs and moved to her city. Thirty-five years later, they are still together.
The first job may have been fine. It simply didn't fit the life he wanted to build.
Pay, demand and hiring requirements vary by employer and over time. Use this stage to identify what looks realistic and what still needs to be checked.
Turn the options you want to keep exploring into a short, practical set of next steps.
What could you do next?
Career Next Steps™ turns the options you want to keep exploring into practical next steps. You will see one option at a time.
A job description can tell you what an employer says a role involves. Someone who does the work can tell you what the job feels like on an ordinary Tuesday.
Sometimes one useful conversation can answer questions that are hard to solve through research alone.
The goal is not to do everything at once. It is to identify the next few actions that would help you learn whether an option is worth pursuing.
Prepare to learn from someone who already does this well.
Rhea's Wisdom
People often say they want to become more confident, communicate better or become a stronger leader. Those goals become easier to work on when you can see the behaviour.
Perhaps someone pauses before answering a difficult question, asks one more question before giving an opinion, or breaks a complicated problem into smaller pieces. Once you can see it, you can watch it, ask about the thinking behind it and practise it yourself.
Your Career Next Steps™ report
This report brings together the choices and reflections you confirmed along the way. Use it as a working map for what you want to investigate next.
A career decision does not have to answer what you will do for the rest of your life. It can answer a smaller question:
Given what you know about yourself and your circumstances today, what is a useful direction to explore next?
