Session: Culture Purpose Match - why you should search for a company that matches your purpose

How could you find your unicorn job?
While a lot of us are looking for the perfect role, the right education, or maybe even to work at the company we so admire, we often neglect what really drives us. Our purpose is what gives us our daily dose of motivation, the energy to go the extra mile without effort and the smile in the face when we go to work.
On the other hand, companies are looking for employees with the perfect match based on expertise, skills and certification. They put a lot of effort into building a culture but often forget, that people are the ones creating the culture. They recruit based on what people have achieved on paper rather than their values and motivation.
But what happens, if there is a match between our purpose and the culture of the company? How can you find your unicorn job by finding the right company, the one that matches your purpose?
