Career Fit Identification: Personality and Work Values
Common Mistake: personality and work values do not integrate well with industry, company, and position.
Process: includes sharing personalized research of personality traits, work values and careers to consider.
Result: insight, skills and capabilities that can help you in career planning.
Career Opportunity Research: Exploring Options
Common Mistake: reactive; not being aggressive in utilizing the internet and leveraging your network.
Process: reviewing a variety of robust internet sites you can use; develop skills for improved networking.
Result: insight, capabilities, and a personalized action plan to find opportunities to pursue.
Common Mistake: using traditional cover letters and resumes you love – and do not work.
Process: discuss that career hiring process from the company’s view; tailoring your plan to how they hire.
Result: more interviews – and more job offers.
Common Mistake: going in – answering the interviewer’s questions – leave.
Process: discuss the interviewing process from the company view; develop a game plan that works.
Result: better interview – better offer – and more effective transition into your new responsibilities.
Common Mistake: “jumping from a frying pan into a fire.”
Process: self – awareness, dream establishing; reality check; action plan.
Result: avoid insanity – the same career approach you have used in the past and hoping for different results.
