My Goals Questionnaire - Personalized Career Clarity Questions

# My Goals Questionnaire **My Goals Questionnaire is a Callings.ai feature that generates approximately 25 personalized questions based on your resume to help you clarify career goals, work style preferences, culture requirements, and deal-breakers—with your answers feeding into AI-generated reports for My Goals, My Ideal Job, and Personal Branding.** **Note:** The questionnaire and the generated insight reports are produced using your **"primary" resume** (the resume marked **Primary** in your profile).

The My Goals Questionnaire helps you articulate detailed preferences and priorities for your ideal next role through a personalized AI-generated questionnaire.

Each question includes context explaining why it's being asked, helping you understand the AI's thinking. ### Answering Questions  **Question Format:** All questions are open text responses. Aim to write 2-3 sentences per answer—enough to capture your thoughts without overthinking. **Tips for Good Answers:** - Be honest—this data helps you, not evaluators - Think about past experiences (what worked, what didn't) - Consider must-haves vs. nice-to-haves - It's okay to skip questions you're unsure about ## Sample Questionnaires with Answers Because every career path is unique, no two questionnaires are alike. Below are examples showing how the AI generates personalized questions based on individual profiles, along with sample answers to give you a sense of the expected depth and detail. --- ### Elena Rodriguez, Senior UI Designer **Background**: Moved from graphic design at an agency to product design at a fintech startup. **Section: Work Environment & Pace** *Context: Your resume shows a transition from a large agency structure to a fast-paced startup environment. These settings require different working styles.* **Question**: "You've experienced both the high-structure environment of an agency and the rapid agility of a startup. Which pace and structure allowed you to do your best work, and what balance are you seeking in your next role?" **Sample Answer**: "I thrived more in the startup environment because I could see my work ship quickly and iterate based on real user feedback. That said, I missed having more time for craft and polish. Ideally, I'd find a growth-stage company with some process but still fast enough to move quickly on important projects." --- **Section: Design Leadership &
