Start with your type

Not sure of your four letters?

Answer 12 quick questions about how you like to work.

Or choose your four letters:

Energy and networking

Energized by people and live conversation

You shine at hiring events, warm introductions, and thinking out loud. Watch for long answers that bury your main point.

Information

Patterns and future possibilities

You naturally talk about the big picture and what could be. Back your ideas with specific numbers and examples.

Decisions

People, values, and impact

You lead with stories about people. Also show the measurable results of that work.

Pace and structure

Flexibility and following leads

You adapt quickly and spot unexpected openings. Use a weekly minimum so applications get finished.

Teamwork	Higher	Lower
Change and new ideas	Higher	Higher
Analysis	Moderate	Higher
Resume blind spot	A varied resume that looks scattered, with little proof you can keep things running.	Assuming the quality of your plan speaks for itself and leaving out how you got people to adopt it.
Interview watch-out	Telling long, winding stories and forgetting to state the result.	Sounding dismissive of the current process, which the interviewer may have built.
