In this lesson from Yale's Hunt course on job searching and career building with purpose, the focus turns to uncovering an individual's underlying motivation as a foundation for a meaningful job search. The lecture walks through tools and worksheets designed to help students articulate a personal purpose statement, treating this reflective work as a prerequisite for the more tactical steps that follow later in the course. Rather than jumping straight into resumes or interviews, the lesson insists on clarity of purpose first, arguing that a well-defined sense of why sharpens later decisions about which roles and industries to pursue.
