Does Career Guidance Matter?

6/20/2013

*Do you dread going to work? 

*Are you in a job that you just do not enjoy?

*Do you wish to further your education, but are unsure of what program or major to pursue?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then working with a career consultant may be a good fit for you.  Continue reading to learn more about how a career consultant can help.

What is a Career Assessment Test?
Career assessment tests provide insight into an individual’s unique strengths and interests. The term “test” can be misleading, as these tests do not assess intelligence or knowledge. In fact, there are no right or wrong answers. Rather, they are designed to pinpoint particular career fields and work settings that the respondent would be most likely to enjoy. 

How Does the Consultant Use the Test Results?
The career consultant will interpret and analyze the test results, and then s/he will talk in-depth with the client about how those findings can best be used. For example, Alex’s test results indicated that farming would be an ideal profession for him. Alex, however, had no interest in leaving his life in the city to become a farmer. The career consultant recognized that Alex might be well-suited for a profession that draws from skills that farmers need, such as using data to forecast changing economic and weather conditions.  The career consultant suggested that Alex may consider the field of Operations Management. This option capitalized on Alex’s unique talents, but made better sense for his lifestyle and interests.

How Can Working with a Career Consultant Save Time and Money?
Knowledge from career assessment can save you incalculable amounts of money and time spent in unsatisfying job settings. While we can never know everything about ourselves and about ideal career fit, learning about our unique aptitudes can help us avoid losing time and money.

Why Choose EPIC Career?
We provide career assessment using two of the world’s most respected psychological instruments, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® and the Strong Interest Inventory®. These instruments have been used widely and researched rigorously since the mid-1900’s.  An EPIC Career consultant will send you information to complete these instruments then plan to meet you via webcam.  This way you can meet from wherever you are, whenever it is most convenient.
