What to know about hiring a Cross
Learn about Crosses
Crosses are ideas driven and fear of Loss dominant.
​
They are good employees for work that requires caring for people, animals, or the planet, social services, politics, advocating for causes, or making a difference in the world.
They are not as good in positions where appearances, fashion, being flexible with your views, being open-minded to anyone’s views, or being patient with people who do wrong is needed.
