Before you start

This is not a quiz. It is a mirror.

Most sustainability professionals know something is blocking them. They just cannot name it. This diagnostic helps you identify exactly where you stand across five dimensions that determine career momentum. Score yourself honestly on each. There are no right answers — only useful ones.

Question 1 of 5

How clear is your direction?

Can you name the specific sustainability role you are targeting — sector, function, and level? Or is your answer "I am open to anything in sustainability"?

1 — No clarity at all5 — Crystal clear

Clarity is not stubbornness. You can be open to opportunities while still knowing your primary target. If you cannot name it, employers cannot see it either.

Question 2 of 5

Have you translated your experience into sustainability language?

Recruiters in sustainability speak a specific language — TCFD, TNFD, materiality, just transition, impact measurement. Do your CV, LinkedIn profile, and the way you describe yourself reflect that fluency?

1 — Not at all5 — Fluent and positioned

Skills transfer. Language does not. A strong background in risk management means nothing to a sustainability hiring manager if you have not translated it into their vocabulary.

Question 3 of 5

Is your network working for you in sustainability specifically?

Most sustainability roles — especially senior ones — are never advertised. They are filled through networks. Do you have active relationships inside the organisations and sectors you are targeting?

1 — Starting from zero5 — Strong insider network

Networking is not schmoozing. It is building relationships so the right people think of you when something opens — before it is advertised.

Question 4 of 5

How well do you understand what the market values right now?

Sustainability is evolving fast. The skills in demand in 2020 are not the same as those employers are paying for today. Do you have a clear picture of which roles are growing, which are contracting, and what capabilities matter in 2025 and 2026?

1 — Mostly guessing5 — I track this actively

Market intelligence is a competitive advantage. Professionals who understand demand — not just supply — move faster and negotiate harder.

Question 5 of 5

Do you have a clear, specific plan — or are you hoping the right opportunity appears?

Career confidence is not a personality trait. It is the product of a clear goal, a realistic plan, and the right support. Can you name the specific role title, sector, and organisation type you are targeting in the next 12 months?

1 — No plan at all5 — Clear, written plan

Professionals who move quickly in sustainability are not more talented. They are more intentional. If your answer is vague, your job search will be too.
