PeopleFirst Podcast, Season 3, Episode 2:  Should a job match your personality?

Should we choose a career based on our personality? Or do we risk putting ourselves into a box?

In this episode, Jordan and his guests discuss the concept of matching personality types with careers. From the traits that naturally suit certain roles, to work personas, they reflect on the importance of knowing yourself deeply to help you thrive at work.

Jordan is joined by Tom Keighley, CEO of the job-matching platform, Urfuture, and Toni-Marie Birtle, Talent Acquisition Executive at ManpowerGroup.

They discuss:

  • Do our jobs reflect our personality types?
  • Introversion vs. extroversion and the danger of labels
  • Having a work persona
  • The importance of knowing yourself
  • Self-selecting yourself out of opportunities
  • Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone.
