Good&Co App

Have you ever wondered what it takes to find your very own perfect career? I mean, the career that fits you like a glove, one where your skills, strengths and talents are fully utilized, and where your weaknesses are being improved every single day?

Now enters Good&Co, aka “the job-hunting lovechild of e-Harmony and Linked In“. Think of it as your career matchmaker, to help you identify your professional persona, assess your dream companies’ fit, and provide you with the tools and resources you need to finally find career happiness. This unique app’s mission is to help employees and employers uncover your unique strengths. Based on a series of personas, from the humanitarian to the caretaker and the socialite, it works through  a series of quizzes, including:

• Your unique strengths
• How you come across to others
• What your spirit animal is
• What your networking strengths are
• What your approach to getting things done is
• What kind of co-worker you are.

It took me years to realize that enjoying your career is actually possible, but (and this is a big BUT) you need to know where you fit first. And that all depends upon your own personal and professional growth, which can take quite a while to figure out.

When I first downloaded the Good&Co app, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. Note that Yet as I started taking the various quizzes, I ave to admit I was pleasantly surprised. The questions were on point, targeting areas about myself I hadn’t always been conscious of. Besides, the very process of answering these questions had me thinking about the evolution of my career until now, and where I want it to go next. Check out my profile personas below when I just started taking the quizzes:

And here’s how I come across to others, which was an eye opener for me as I tend to push  myself too hard and get close to crashing afterwards (blame it on those sleepless nights writing term papers in college):

What I really like about this app is that it’s a constant work in progress. Each quizz uncovers a new feature which allows you to take even more in-depth assessments of yourself. My favorite feature is the CompanyFit feature which assesses how you fit with the companies of your choice. You can also start following those companies you’re interested in, and receive job posting notifications from them! Even better, you can now connect with people from these same companies! In addition,  connecting your account to your Linked In, Google+ and Facebook accounts helps you add more to the mix as well.. And did I mention the ability to form teams in different disciplines, including Quality Assurance, IT Support, Logistics, Finance, Sales, etc…

There are not many things I would change about this app. However, if you’re not into quizzes or assessments, this may not be for you. But overall, if finding career happiness and owning the way you work is important to you, Good&Co is one of the best career companions you’ll find!

So connect with me on Good&Co and let’s share our individual results! Finding career happiness is a journey, and it’s best when taken together…
