My Goals - Define and Prioritize Your Career Requirements
Clarify your job search priorities with AI-generated career goals covering role, environment, location, compensation, culture, and industry.
# My Goals
**My Goals is a Callings.ai feature that helps you define and prioritize your career requirements across six dimensions—role type, work environment, location, compensation, culture, and industry—with AI-generated suggestions based on your resume that you can customize and tag by importance level (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW) to evaluate any job opportunity.**
The **My Goals** section helps you define and prioritize exactly what you are looking for in your next role. By clearly outlining your needs and wants, you can evaluate job opportunities with confidence and ensure they align with your career aspirations.

## Understanding Your Goals
Your goals are organized into categories that cover all the key dimensions of a job:
- **Role** - The type of position, responsibilities, and seniority level you're targeting
- **Work Environment** - Team size, company stage, and cultural attributes you prefer
- **Location** - Geographic preferences and remote work flexibility
- **Compensation** - Salary expectations and benefits priorities
- **Culture** - Values, leadership style, and team dynamics
- **Industries** - Sectors and markets you're interested in
Each goal is tagged with an importance level (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW) to help you stay focused on your most critical requirements.
## Generated For You
To give you a head start, your goals are **generated based on your primary resume and your answers to the My Goals Questionnaire**. Our system analyzes your professional background along with your stated preferences to suggest a set of prioritized requirements that match your career aspirations.
**Benefit:** Start with intelligent defaults rather than a blank slate, saving hours of self-reflection while still maintaining full control.
## Editing Your Goals

Click the **Edit** button in the toolbar or hover over the goals list and click **"Click to edit"** to open the **Goal Editor** modal. Here you can:
### Customize Each Goal Category
For each goal category, you can:
- **Set Importance Level** - Choose HIGH (must-have), MEDIUM (nice-to-have), or LOW (optional)
- **Add Specific Requirements** - List detailed criteria as bullet points
- **Reorder Goals** - Use drag handles (⋮⋮) to prioritize which goals matter most
- **Delete Goals** - Remove categories that aren't relevant to your search
### Adding New Goals
At the bottom of the editor, click **"+ Add New Goal"** to create a custom goal category. This lets you track requirements that may not be covered by the default categories—for example, "Company Mission," "Growth Opportunities," or "Team Composition." Each new goal you add works just like the built-in ones: you can set its importance level, add detailed requirements, reorder it, or delete it later.
### Add Detailed Criteria

Each goal can contain multiple specific requirements. For example, under "Work Environment":
- Small, multidisciplinary, highly creative teams
- Series A or B startups preferred
- Fast-paced, exploratory, and mission-driven environment
- Support for experimentation and fast testing
**Benefit:** Clarifying your priorities helps you communicate more intentionally when networking and evaluating opportunities. If you receive multiple offers, this becomes a valuable tool to recenter on what truly matters.
## Using Your Goals
### Self-Clarity
Your goals serve as a personal reference document that helps you stay focused throughout your search. When opportunities arise or conversations happen, you'll have a clear framework for evaluating whether something aligns with what you want.
**Benefit:** Maintain clarity and intentionality rather than getting swept up in the moment.
### Networking & Communication
