Want a new career? Red Bull Wingfinder can help you find your way
Are you looking for a new career? Do you actually know what you’re best at? Red Bull Wingfinder is the perfect test to find out what your skills are and where your ambitions lie.
Have you ever watched cyclists like Danny MacAskill flying through the air, pulling off incredible, jaw-dropping tricks, and imagined what it’d be like to live that life? Although you may not have MacAskill’s particular skill set, knowing where your strengths and abilities lie can help you to discover a whole new career, working on the things you’re best at to unlock your full potential.
Finding a new career is never going to be easy, but according to the London School of Business and Finance, up to half of us (or at least, 47 percent of workers in the UK) could have eyes on making an escape and starting something different. Over 55 percent of workers in London want to change careers, and that number rises to over 66 percent of Millenials. Extrapolate that to a global scale, and there are a lot of unhappy workers. Somewhat tellingly, however, around 20 percent of those surveyed simply didn’t know what to change their careers to.
You’ll often be starting again from the bottom, and this can appear especially daunting if you’re already established in a particular field. That doesn’t mean you should accept being stuck in a rut, and if you think you'd work better in a different industry or environment, you might well be right. Luckily, Red Bull Wingfinder can help in several different ways.
For starters, the test’s 280 questions have been designed by a team of experts from University College London and Columbia University New York to explore your personality in depth.
The test concentrates on four different areas of your personality, including creativity, thinking, drive and connections, with each section delving deeper into who you are, the people you’re similar to and the different ways that you can use your strengths to get ahead in life.
Once you’ve finished, your results will be sent instantly to you, which break down what your strengths are (such as how adaptable you are and how it can help you to succeed, how analytical you are and how you go about learning, how disciplined and confident you are, and how you work with other people) and the areas you should be focusing on if you want to develop your existing career or start again elsewhere. Simply discovering what you’re good at and more about the way you think can help you to build confidence and choose the right road if you do decide to start afresh.
There’s a whole world of information to digest, but Red Bull Wingfinder makes it easier by sending you a 'Talent Passport', rounding up everything you need to know in one simple document. The Talent Passport highlights all of your top strengths and the ways they can help you to succeed, along with a brief overview of the areas you may struggle or could improve.
In short, Red Bull Wingfinder can help you to discover the skills necessary to thrive in a new career, following in the footsteps of elite athletes who’ve embraced similar traits and strengths to achieve incredible success.
