// 5 Questions to Ask Before Making a Career Move and How AI Can Support Career Clarity with Michelle Schafer

Are you running toward something, or away from something? When work starts to feel off, I see many people go straight into action mode: update their resumes, scroll job boards, and apply quickly. Doing something feels safer than pausing—but clarity doesn’t come from rushing. It comes from slowing down and noticing. In this episode, I’m joined by expert career transition coach Michelle Schafer, and we talk about what career clarity really looks like before you make a move. Michelle shares five questions that help you understand how you want your days to feel, what’s non-negotiable in this season, and what will actually sustain you over time. If you’re at a crossroads (or sensing it might be time for a shift), this conversation will help. 🎧 Related episode: Why Success in Your Job Search Starts with Mindset with Michelle Schafer  🔗 Connect with Michelle on LinkedIn | Website 📗 Download a free chapter from Michelle's book  📚 Order Michelle's book Cultivating Career Growth: Navigating Transitions with Purpose   🌟 Download the Career Focus Framework 💛 In a season of transition?
