Career Counseling
It’s tough to find many things to say about good about career opportunities in today’s turbulent job market. But there is one: this is a good time to reassess where your career path is taking you. Are you in the career that best fits with your skills, interests and ambitions?
You can do this on your own, but understand that it is very difficult to be totally objective about yourself. You can retain the services of a pro, but that can be expensive. Or you can take advantage of some free career assessments services as a first step.
Here’s a list of such services:
Coach Compass Assessment (coachcompass.com).
CareerLink Inventory (www.mpcfaculty.net/CL/cl.html
O*NET (online.onetcenter.org).
Rutgers University
(careerservices.rutgers.edu/OCAmain.html).
It’s a good idea to take more than one of these tests. If you don’t get the information you feel you need to plan your future you can always consult with a professional.
It’s time to step back and take an inventory about where you are and where you are going. You may find that you should change careers or find a new employer. Or you may see ways to improve your performance and gain more career rewards where you are.
I wish you career success!
