What Is Three Alternate Jobs?

Three Alternate Jobs is a creative ice breaker game that helps coworkers discover each other's hidden skills and dreams. Everyone reveals careers they might have pursued in another life.

The aim of the game is for participants to share three alternate career choices they've considered or find intriguing. It can lead to interesting discussions and deeper connections among coworkers.

Rules for Three Alternate Jobs

  1. Each participant takes turns sharing three different jobs they might have pursued if they weren't in their current role, including the reasoning for each position.
  2. Team members can then dive deeper into the careers by raising questions or requesting context.
  3. Continue the game until everyone has had a chance to share their alternate career choices.
