ambition interview

You have reached a point in your career at which you start to ask yourself the following questions: What do I really want with my career? Does my current employer still fit that goal? Is it time for a new environment or challenge? This is a tough decision, especially considering that 50% of new work relationships end in disappointment within the first year.

At Velde, we believe that your motivation and ambition determine your success. What you want to achieve has an impact on your job satisfaction. In many professions, your personality and competencies also determine whether your aspirations are right for you. The clearer you define your ambition and motivation, the better you can discover your ideal career path.

how do we do it?
