Assessments and Tools

Whatever stage you are at in your career, whether you are starting out, making some changes, looking for some new ideas or direction or perhaps considering a rejuvenating rewire rather than retirement, career assessments are designed to gain insight and to crystallise your ideals.

The world of work is ever changing and knowing ourselves, our strengths and our potential makes so much sense when we are making critical decisions about our future and our career path. Armed with information about our motivators, values and personal style we are empowered to map out our preferred expectations.

In the modern world we need to stay abreast and remain marketable. Jobs that exist today might not be there tomorrow.

Do you know your strengths and challenges? Can you provide an ‘elevator’ snap shot of your uniqueness? What is your unique selling point? Are you maintaining your competitiveness in the world of work?

Your Career Coach provides a series of assessments that can give you clarity about your preferences.

Career Assessments

One of the major career tools recommended for assessment is Harrison Assessments, the most advanced, accurate and cost-effective suitability assessment system on the market today. In less than 30 minutes, answering an online questionnaire, you can have a career guide report that measures more than 200 factors including your task preferences, motivations, work environment preferences, interests, and interpersonal preferences. The system compares your preferences to the requirements of more than 600 careers and determines your most suitable careers.

This tool used by companies and career professionals around the world is far superior to most personality and career tests available. This career assessment is 99% accurate when the industry average is 65%. Would you want to make major life-altering decisions about your future with anything less than 99% accuracy?

See the Sample Report which includes a report on Career Options, Career Development and Career Comparison.

The Career Options report provides a list of careers that are most suitable for an individual. The careers are listed in descending order of suitability. The system searches on more than 600 careers and identifies those that best match the person's task preferences, interests, work environment preferences and personality patterns. The report can be restricted to levels of education required.

The Career Development report gives you detailed guidance related to your career development. It includes the following topics: Task Preferences, Interests, Work Environment Preferences, Interpersonal Skills, Motivation, Decision Skills, and Leadership Skills.

The Career Comparison report compares an individual's profile to the traits required for success in a particular career. A full interpretation of the results is included.
