What's next?
Stuck pulling beers? Answering phones? Staring at the ceiling at 2am wondering if this is it?
Same. I have two daughters in different versions of stuck. So I built this.
A 45-minute quiz grounded in actual career-science research (not personality colours, not MBTI, the real validated stuff), matched against 1,000+ Australian jobs, with a Claude-powered synthesis that gives you a personalised plan that doesn't suck.
Start. It's free. →No signup to start. Save and resume anytime. Email only required at the end so we can send you the report.
How it works
- Take the quiz. ~45 minutes, broken into 5 chunks of ~10 minutes each. Save and resume on any device.
- We crunch the numbers. Your answers run through validated frameworks (Holland Codes, Big Five, work values) and get matched against real Australian job-market data — wages, growth, demand.
- Get your plan. 8–10 careers that genuinely fit you, why each one, transition pathways from where you are right now, day-in-the-life snapshots, and a concrete 30/90/365-day action plan. Emailed.
The actual science
Career advice is full of nonsense. Personality colours. MBTI (which has been thoroughly debunked). Quizzes that tell you your spirit animal is “account manager.”
We're using only validated, peer-reviewed instruments:
- Holland Codes (RIASEC) — the gold-standard career interest framework, 60+ years of vocational psychology behind it.
- Big Five (OCEAN) — the most scientifically supported personality model in existence.
- Schwartz Work Values — what actually motivates you, beyond what you happen to be good at.
- O*NET occupational data — 1,000+ jobs profiled by the US Department of Labour. The most comprehensive career database on Earth.
- Australian job-market data — wages, growth and demand from jobsearch.gov.au, so the matches are real here, not theoretical.
For my daughters
Greta is 25. She's been pulling beers, making coffees, answering phones at jobs she's grown to dread. She's brilliant — articulate, curious, sharp, kind. And she has no idea what's next. Twenty-something, stuck, without a map.
Violet is 17. She's in Year 11 and trying to make a real decision: uni, TAFE, or straight to work? She's not paralysed — she's actively asking the question. But every adult around her has a different answer, the school careers counsellor gave her fifteen minutes last term, and nobody has helped her line up her interests, strengths and values against actual career outcomes in Australia. She doesn't want to fall into the same job-shaped vacuum her sister ended up in.
There are a hundred books on this. None are tailored to either of them. None know the Australian job market. None combine the actual research with someone who can listen and synthesise.
So I built this. For both of them. And then I made it free for everyone.
If you're stuck — or about to be — take it. If you know someone in either bracket, send it. Read the longer story →
