What is Vocational-Alignment ? 🤔
Vocational-Alignment (VA) is like finding that perfect pair of jeans, super comfortable, familiar and fit just right! 👖
VA means your career matches your skills, interests, values, and aspirations. VA's about feeling passionate and engaged in your work, not just clocking in and out! ⏰

Think of VA like this:
- First imagine you're a puzzle piece. 🧩
- Next it's all about finding the right puzzle that you fit into! Think, somewhere you feel connected and valued, this is your metaphor for true Vocational-Alignment.
- Finally VA means finding a role, environment and team that aligns with your strengths, purpose and passions, where work doesn't seem like work, but instead feels like an authentic and natural extension of who you are! 🤩
