The School of Life Career Crisis Card Set

Finding a job we can love and that makes use of our talents is the single greatest challenge we face. Unsurprisingly, many of us regularly hit career crises: moments of intense anxiety about finding our true vocation in the time we have left.

These Career Crisis Prompt Cards contain ideas and questions designed to unblock career crises and free up our thinking around work – setting us on a path to a job that will tap into the best parts of us.

Example Cards:
A job you love doesn’t mean that there is only one job you could love. So it will always be reasonable to have regrets.
Which of these are you – in the end – best at: numbers, words, images, people?
A palliative nurse described one of the major regrets of the dying as the wish that they’d had the courage to live a life true to themselves, not the life others expected of them.
How to Use the Cards

Use the cards reflect on which parts of your current job you find least appealing and which jobs you have found most rewarding.
