Multipotentialite. Multi-passionate. Scanner. Renaissance Person. Generalist. Multipod.
Whichever term you favor, the meaning behind it is what's important.
According to our guest (and coiner of the term), Emilie Wapnick, a multipotentialite is a person that doesn't have "one true calling the way that specialists do."
While having the drive to learn new things and master new skills is a fantastic quality and strength to have while job searching, a lot of multi-passionate people struggle with finding a career that "fits" them because they have such a wide range of interests. This makes it hard to narrow down a specific career, since there are so many choices out there that they can thrive in.
