Becoming You Method
Purpose-Driven Career Clarity, Grounded in Reality
The Becoming You Method is a science-backed framework for making career decisions with clarity, confidence, and intention.
Integrated into The Targeted Resume through Sue Schlom’s certification with Becoming You Labs, this methodology helps clients go beyond short-term job moves to identify paths that are authentic, sustainable, and economically viable.
It answers a question many professionals quietly carry:
How do I choose a career path that actually fits me and will still work in the real world?
The Three Pillars of the Becoming You Method
-
Values are not personality traits or aspirations, they are deeply held beliefs about what matters most and what should guide decisions.
When careers align with personal values, people experience greater engagement, resilience, and long-term satisfaction. When they don’t, even prestigious roles can feel draining or hollow.
Through structured tools developed by Becoming You Labs, clients gain true values clarity, creating a reliable internal compass for career decisions.
The benefit: clearer priorities, fewer regrets, and decisions that feel grounded rather than reactive.
-
Aptitudes reflect how your mind and emotions naturally work, how you process information, solve problems, and relate to others.
Unlike skills, aptitudes are not learned; they are part of your underlying wiring. When work aligns with these propensities, people experience greater ease, stronger performance, and more frequent states of flow.
Misalignment, on the other hand, is a common driver of burnout and self-doubt.
The benefit: confidence rooted in self-understanding, not comparison, and career paths that play to your natural strengths.
-
Interests matter but purpose alone is not enough. A fulfilling career must also be financially sustainable and resilient in a changing economy.
Economically Viable Interests sit at the intersection of what genuinely engages you and what the market can support over time.
Becoming You Labs integrates labor-market data, industry trends, and future-facing role analysis to ensure career choices are not only inspiring, but realistic.
The benefit: career direction that balances meaning with stability without idealism or fear-based compromise.
