Career job information for job seekers and find good employment job
DO YOU REALLY NEED A CAREER COUNSELOR OR RECRUITER? CAN YOU DO IT YOURSELF?
Are you your own best medical or career doctor? Can you heal yourself?
Can you improve your career well-being?
The answers depend upon you--how healthy, health-conscious, and disciplined you are. An inventory of healthy career behaviors has been compiled from the recurring attitudes and career strategies of occupationally mobile people who say they are satisfied and successful in their careers.
In interviews, persistent themes emerge from their collective wisdom. For example, they believe that their work is a worthy expression of their life and they gain pleasure from it. They enjoy stretching their talents and drawing resourcefully from their personal depths. They believe the harder they work, the luckier they get. They work hard and play hard. They lead full and balanced lives. They have a strong sense of who they are. They think about how their careers change them as people.
TEST YOUR 'CAREER HEALTH'
An inventory of "healthy" career behaviors and attitudes has been compiled from the recurring themes and strategies of successful career-changers. The following 13-item version of the Career Well-being Inventory has been adapted from the complete 47-item version found in the book, CAREER RENEWAL (Stephen Rosen & Celia Paul, Academic Press, 1998) To test your own "career health", examine each statement in the list and decide how frequently each one applies to you. Award yourself points for each item as follows: never = 0, sometimes = 1, always = 2.
1. I intuitively develop abiding relationships with my friends and colleagues.
2. Professional colleagues, mentors, advisors and role models were important in my life.
3. Life is full of random events I attempt to convert to adventures.
4. In my professional and social life, I present my truest and best self.
5. I know what I can change, what I can't and the difference between them.
6. I redirect my energies, instincts and desires into useful pursuits.
7. Humility is a great virtue.
8. The harder the work, the luckier I get.
9. I work hard and play hard.
10. Decisions I made at important turning points in my career were beneficial to my career.
11. I am energetic and optimistic about my career and my life.
12. I gain energy, pleasure and renewal from my work or career.
13. Excellent job opportunities and offers well-suited to me have come my way as if by chance.
How to score your answers: Allot two points for each "always", one point for each "sometimes", and none for "never". If your total score is between 20 and 26 points, your "career health" is good. A score of less than 20 indicates that perhaps you should do some "career calisthenics" to exercise your less-favoured "career muscles".
